Who likes making mistakes? Literally, no one that I personally know. We’re all too familiar with that gut-wrenching feeling. That moment you realize that you made a big blunder. The guilt and shame hijack the mind before we can even try to get up and dust ourselves off. Everyone handles mistakes and failure differently, but we can all agree on the negative feeling that they accompany. Why are we inherently biased towards a fundamental aspect of being human? What if we started to look at our mistakes as learning opportunities? –Guri
