Why Mistakes are good things?

Sunday, March 14, 2010

If what we are really looking for in perfectionism is excellence, then we should relish the chance of to make mistakes. The teacher split a beginners class in half and told them that the students on one side would be graded on quantity - the more pots they produced, the higher their grade, the others would graded on quality - to receive an A, they had to create a perfect pot. Can you guess which group made better pots? the quantity group improved through trial and error! The quality group got hung up on attaining perfection and never learned. Think about that the next time you upbraid yourself for making an error!
