It’s no secret that sometimes great discoveries come as a result of really big mistakes. But are they always worth the problems they cause? Are mistakes key to discovery? Some say mistakes are key to discovery, while others vice-versa. This essay will cover why mistakes don’t usually lead to discoveries, and how they might not be worth the mistake if a discovery is made. Most discoveries come from research and studies, not from mistakes as most people think. According to an article titled “In Praise of Careful Science,” Thomas Edison once said, inventing was 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Normally when a mistake is made in science, it does not lead to a discovery, but rather it teaches a scientist to do better next time.

It has recently been brought to my attention that our school is looking to adopt a sustainable menu into our meal program and I would like to give my viewpoint on the matter. As one many students here at Oxford Academy this change will affect me directly. Although people may at first oppose this conversion I think if we are able to overcome the first obstacles, this change would bring a great positive impact to the environment and the health of our students.
he short anecdote above accurately represents the situation of many students across the globe. Throughout the last decade, technology had exploded in a way so immensely that nothing and nobody can stop it. Not even educators. This is why taking the easy way out of assignments has become such a frequently used method by students everywhere. It is evident that students of this generation have become complacent in a “short-cut” society.
Sometimes mistakes can lead to great discoveries. An explorer can be searching for a waterfall and then trip and fall into a hidden cave. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this topic.

Technological advances and the development of social networking sites should be a reason for us to reconsider the existence of the United States Postal Services. Honestly, who would use inconvenient and slow mail, when they can electronically communicate with the whole world at the press of a button? I don’t find any use in preserving the US Postal service – there is no need to waste time and effort in changing, reorganizing, and revitalize an ineffective business to meet the needs of the changing world!
Some of the greatest astronomers had made some inaccurate predictions like Copernicus and Alfonsine. To make more accurate predictions about the universe, I needed to make more complex instruments to observe it. Another
