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

Making Mistakes is part of our lives. Imagine you are studying for a tests or writing Journal Entries for your English teacher. You are all hyped about and make plan to actually do your work. Also you were thinking that you will be getting an A in this class for sure because it sounded easy when the teacher was talking about. He even made it more easier for you by giving you one day to read and one day to do your Journal Entry.Sometimes he would even more generous and let you have an extra time in class for you to get started. In class, you have your friends surrounding you and there are major distractions to your work. So instead of doing your work you socialize throughout the class. When you come home you realize that your internet was cut off when you were at school and now it was time for wordiness to kick in because you remembered that you have Journal Entry due at 7:30.

The one real mistake I believe we can make in life is to not learn from missteps

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.

This quote reminds me of a lot of the video games I play. In those games, you have the option to retry after you lose. My second attempt would always be better than the first one. This is because, every time I fail, I learn something new that will bring me closer to winning the game. In real life, if I do bad at a math quiz, I know the world is not over. I know I should review my mistakes and then the next test I will make sure to remember not to make those mistakes again. According to Medical Daily, you remember things better if you ever made a mistake on it before. This means it is actually not that awful if you make mistakes on assignments that are not heavily weighted because then on the important ones you will do well.

I haven’t experienced failure at work or elsewhere for a while now but when I first started working at Caribou, I had failed at so many things. Caribou was my first real job, that wasn’t an internship. It’s a pressure-filled job that requires you to able to make drinks quickly and accurately. To do that you have to have the recipe of all the drinks memorized in order to move quickly. The first few weeks were hard because I hadn’t memorized all the recipes yet and, therefore, wasn’t able to move quickly. However, after a few weeks, I picked up speed. I was able to make drinks (both hot and cold) quickly and accurately. The bad thing about my new found confidence as a barista was that when a rush hit, I was confident I could handle it. The morning rushes at Caribou are fast and never ending.

Making mistakes is natural, and it helps educate those willing to learn from those mistakes. Good executives make mistakes every week, but what makes them the best is how they learn from those mistakes. Mr. Konrad is one of those successful executives. He acknowledged the mistakes he made as a young businessman, which lead to the success of IKEA. Mr. Konrad once stated, “Only those who sleep make no mistakes” (2011, pg 63). This quote introduced at the beginning of the chapter helps show no one in the world is capable of being perfect, even if your Mr. Konrad who is a very successful businessman.

One example is from the movie “The Dead Poets Society” from the scene of Neil Perry’s death. Just before the scene of Neil’s death he had an argument with his father about his acting and just before they were finished Neil’s father said “sleep on it”. Unfortunately Neil did not sleep witch lead to Neil committing suicide. Neil did not get any sleep meaning he wasn’t thinking clearly and used poor judgment. I think that this all could have been avoided if Neil got some sleep and started fresh in the morning. In my recent life experience I was working on installing software for my computer and experienced issues at the start. I took a break from my computer after having issues with the install and when I returned I was able to finish it. It helps quite a bit when you take a break from a task and pick it up later. I also had an experience in making a few mistakes in training for the Police Explorers. One mistake I made was during crime scene training where I failed to perform my leadership duties. I got overloaded and did not assign my team with their assignments and after I did I learned from that mistake and will not let it happen again. The second mistake I made was getting ahead of myself and not finishing a task correctly. Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person and keeps you from making the same or different mistakes, as I have learned you take the good and you leave the

One instance of a failure that taught me well was when I tried to find a quick solution for boiling eggs. I was so tired of what I considered the

I personally believe that learning things the harder way always has more impact. It no longer is just an incident but becomes a lesson for life, something that you try not to repeat.
