Making mistakes is better than faking perfection: This quote is a beautiful reminder about the perils of perfection. It also opens a debate about progress vs perfection and why being perfect is bad. As much as I like the idea of perfection, it is stressful and unrealistic. The most important point is that it doesn’t allow us to make mistakes and learn from them. The beauty of making mistakes is in learning from feedback and finding ways to move forward. It supports the idea of growth, not obsessing over mistakes and finding the strength to move forward.
It happens unconsciously, yet a powerful way of massaging our own ego. It is scary if we try to understand the reasons why we try to do this. Hence, a powerful reminder about judging people because if we keep judging them, we have very little time to love them.
Meaning of Do Not Judge me by my Successes – Success has a bad habit of painting a rosy picture. And somehow we belong to a culture where failures are brutally criticised and successes hailed to glory. However, at the core of it – these are merely outcomes. The successes manifest as favourable ones while the failures don’t. Ultimately both success and failure have a message for us.
Wisdom Comes from Experience: This quote represents a certain amount of irony but I cannot find a truer one for the quote of the day section today. I’ve often debated this thought in my head about experience vs wisdom. I hate making mistakes – particularly the ones that have a negative impact on me. Even with that, I can look back at my experiences and can see quite a few of them which are great learning experiences!
