Treat failure as part of lifelong learning



Great post by BM Rabia 

“If milk is wasted, it becomes yogurt. 
Yogurt is more valuable than milk.

If it gets any worse, it becomes cheese. 
Cheese is more valuable than yogurt and milk.

And if grape juice turns sour, it turns into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice.

You're not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are experiences that make you more valuable as a person. 

Christopher Columbus made a navigation error that led him to discover America. 
Alexander Fleming's mistake led him to invent penicillin. 

Don't let your mistakes depress you. It's not practice that makes perfect. It's the mistakes we learn from that make perfect!”

Reminds me of a post I wrote in 2013
