You Can: Mistakes

Study your Mistakes.
There are two kinds of mistakes. those that happen from ordinary human mis-thinking and those that come from carelessness and petty un-thinking.

No one ever gets too big to make  mistakes. the secret is that the big man is greater than his mistakes, because he rises right out of them and passes beyond them.



After one of Henry Ward Beecher's sermons in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, a young man came up to him and said: "Mr. Beecher, did you know that you made a grammatical error in your sermon this morning?"
" A grammatical error," answered Beecher, " I ' ll bet my hat that i made forty of them."

Half of the power of forceful man springs out of his mistakes of one sort or another. They help to keep him human. Study your mistakes.

But the mistakes that tear away the power of a man , weaken him, and make him flabby, are the stupid, the reckless mistakes. The clerk who forgets, the stenographer that doesn't care the worker who neglects--these are the ones whose life blood and vitality is sapped and sucked away into failure. Study your mistakes.

one of the great things of each day for you is to do your best- unmindful of mistakes. But after your work is done and you realize blunders, don't shirk, don't whine, don't despond , but Study your mistakes and profit from them and go ahead!
