ReplyDeleteI agree Ryan! I think that learning from your mistakes is an efficient way to grow.
ReplyDeleteIt's part of being human. I'm sure even Albert Einstein made mistakes in order to prefect his theory. There is no book on how to be prefect because no one is perfect. Trial and error makes a person wiser. We must learn from all we do.
