Mistakes In The Medusa And The Snail

On the surface level, one could assume that when a person makes a mistake, they have failed. Most would come to the conclusion that if one does not do something correctly then they will have failed at what they were trying to do, and this shows that the first part of this quote is, essentially, accurate. However, when paired with the second part of the quote, the first part becomes clearer. A person that makes a mistake is not necessarily a failure unless they learned nothing from the mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, but that does not make everyone a failure. Being a failure constitutes so much more than making simple mistakes. Unless someone repeatedly makes the same error and does nothing to improve, they should not be considered a failure. This can be exemplified by a rather simple comparison: if one forgets to turn in one assignment for a class, they will not necessarily fail, however, if they constantly do not turn in their assignments, they will most likely end up failing the class. Repetitious errors demonstrate a lack of ability to improve one’s self which probably shows a lack of caring. This would constitute a failure because the person is doing the same thing over and over again without trying anything new that would warrant a different result. Unless a person does not attempt to correct their mistake in any manner, they should not be considered a failure, but if they have gained nothing from the experience, then they are a failure because the opportunity to learn something new was presented to them and they did nothing with it. One mistake does not define a person, but rather the ability to learn or not to learn from mistakes is what defines a

The second blunder caused by Mr. Hoffman was not fostering personal mastery experiences. By successfully accomplishing a task, defeating an opponent, or resolving a problem, people develop a sense of mastery. Hoffman should have helped Ruth

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.” I agree with this statement, because everyone makes a mistake at least once in their life. All a mistake does is show that you are human. What matters is what you do with your mistake.

Though it’s not always true that we know more things from failing, but it tells us that if we fail then to not give up. If you failed at a math problem, you may choose to do it a different way and try to figure it out that way. A space physicist once said, “Science is a self-correcting process.” So if you work in the science industry, then you tend to make some mistakes here and there, but these mistakes could lead you to finding a new species of animal or finding a cure for a serious

When you succeed you need to faliure and successful person will tell you that they had failed, but those failures are what made them successful.People with success can lead to other success,this is shown with many people around the world in many different industries.This is mainly shown by the music industries,like other artist shout out or make song with unknown or not well know artist.They had overcome many obstacles an example is school,family problems,and negatively of review of loves ones and friends.One example of this is shown filmmaker Cole bennett’s,his failure can be instructive by teaching or helping others to become more successful than even him.

Medusa means "sovereign female wisdom." In Sanskrit it's Medha. Medusa was originally a Libyan Goddess, worshiped by The Amazons as their Serpent-Goddess. She was considered the destroyer aspect of the Great Triple Goddess also called Neith, Anath, Athene or Ath-enna in North Africa and Athana in 1400. BC Minoan Crete. She can also be connected to Africa where she had a hidden, dangerous face, and her hair was represented as resembling dread locks. Libyan Amazons believed that no one could possibly lift her veil, and that to look upon her face was to glimpse one's own death as she saw yours.

I can candidly say that Wrongology by Kathryn Schulz is an enlightening read. The author puts forward her case for wrongology – a complicated subject throwing light upon all facets of being wrong and at fault. Her foundation being that people have been wrong about being wrong to start with. It’s no doubt delightful to be right, it uplifts our ego and that in a way is crucial for our survival. Seemingly according to Kathryn Schulz even though being wrong may be embarrassing it is critical for our personal development. Error is a part of human nature and cannot be terminated. If our choices are wrong, what we have to do is to review those choices and learn from them, eventually making better ones. Therefore one should not be afraid of making a mistake or being wrong. Mistakes help us revise our understandings and help us

In Roger Von Oech’s “To Err Is Wrong”, he argues that being wrong is not necessarily a wrong thing and that having errors may lead to success. He explains that many see “success and failure as opposites”(2), however Oech states that “they are actually both products of the same process”(2). As he focuses in success and failure, he supports the idea that if someone makes errors, it gives them the opportunity to explore more ideas and improve their results. Oech also suggests that people are used to the idea that failing is bad and many prefer not to risk making any mistakes or failing and that they just take the easy way out. He also brings up the idea that succeeding and failing are a part of daily life because everyone tries not to make any

It is always good to learn from your mistakes. Sometimes mistakes can be considered good things because it lets a person change how they do something and that there could be many ways for doing one task.

Human beings make mistakes; sometimes they learn from their first mistake, sometimes they learn after

Success is boring and doesn’t prepare you for the next time. Failure on the other hand prepares you and forces you to learn from your mistakes. Trying to make the natural order different doesn’t help and making you destroy that can and might jeopardize the fact that if you are successful or not in the future.

After 1000 failed trials to create the light bulb, when a reporter asked “how did it feel to fail 1000 times” Thomas Edison replied “I did not fail 1000 times, the light bulb was just invented in 1000 steps”.

Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience just from all of my own little mishaps, and a few major ones.

Thomas Edison lit up the world, but only after many failed attempts did he actually get it right. A reporter came and asked Edison, "How many times are you going to fail at creating the light bulb?" Mr. Edison replied, "Son, I haven't failed! I've simply discovered another way not to invent the light bulb!"

When we first started walking, we would stumble and fall down within few steps, until we learned how to walk perfectly. Mistakes are like these falls, without which we would never excel at anything. But one thing we should always keep in mind is we should never let these mistakes stop us from continuing the work. Mistakes are lessons for us, which help us grow and reach newer heights. Studies have shown that a person who has committed a mistake is always more determined and focused than a person who hasn’t. Thomas Edison came up light bulb after
