Learning after a Fall
-Abraham Lincoln ran
for numerous political offices and lost.
His fiancé died. He started two
businesses and they both failed. Yet he
became our sixteenth president.
-Babe Ruth was the
strikeout king, and he was also the homerun king.
-The post-it note was a
mistake that sold millions.
-A waffle vendor ran
out of plates at the 1904 World’s Fair and ended up creating the ice cream
cone.
The key is this: Don’t
let your mistakes define who you are.
Mistakes
Misjudgments
Misunderstanding
They happen.
Just because we made a mistake
doesn't mean we are a failure.
We learn and we
recover.
Michelangelo once said,
“I’m still learning.”
Ah, that is the
secret.
The ‘learning” that
happens after a fall.
