"A life spent on making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent on doing onthing". These are the words of George Bernard Shaw.How do you like it?
Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups.I Read this somewhere. So making mistakes are the hard way of learning the rules .
One is experienced but should have the talent to make proper use of it in the demanded situation...And even if one is extremely talented should have the proper experience in order to tackle the situation/scenario effectively...
I like the quote very much. There is nothing worse than laziness.If you do anything, you are likely to commit mistakes. Mistakes are best teachers. We learn not only from our own mistakes but also from others'.
This is a very nice quote from the great author. It is true that a lazy life is worthless and wasted.
The quote reminded me of the story of a lazy farmer who planted nothing in his fields one season. When asked, his reply was that he was scared that the rains would be scanty and his crops would all burn. The next season, he again planted nothing giving reason that the rains would be heavy and his crops would wash away in the floods!
Compared to other farmers who planted grains in their field at the risk and mercy of the rain gods, this farmer simply wasted away his life and turned his fields into useless wastelands by not tilling them.
Same logic applied to everyone when they don't try their hand at anything for fear of committing mistakes.
Yes, committing mistakes is an invaluable experience and learning from these experiences is good opportunity to advance in life.
