“Do not fear mistakes,” said the great American jazz trumpeter, Miles Davis. “There are none.”
(I usually have “Kind of Blue” in my car. Desert island music.)
It reminds me of what the inventor, Buckminster Fuller (he of the geodesic dome), wrote on a related theme: “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes.”
So many successes emerge (sooner or later) from so-called mistakes and failures.
