Making mistakes is how we learn.  We learned to walk by making mistakes-- falling down.  A little persistence and we finally learned to walk.

The secret is to learn from our mistakes and to improve until we get it right.  We learn by doing things over and over.  For example, my vegetable garden was improved this year, because of my mistakes last year.  Next year's garden will be even better, due to this year's mistakes and so on.

Bottomline: Don't be afraid to make mistakes . . . you just might learn something.  This applies to almost anything:

You name it!  Make mistakes and learn.
