Journey of Growth

Yours mistakes can lead you to valuable discoveries

By Rohitha LankaPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

If milk goes bad, it becomes yogurt.

Yogurt is more expensive than milk.

If it goes bad, it becomes cheese,

which is more valuable than both yogurt and milk.

If grape juice goes sour,

it becomes wine,

which is more expensive than grape juice.

You are not a bad person because you made mistakes.

Mistakes are experiences that make you more valuable as a person.

Christopher Columbus made a navigational error

that led him to discover America.

Alexander Fleming's mistake led him to discover penicillin.

Don't let your mistakes discourage you.

It is not practice that makes perfect,

but mistakes that we learn from!

Don't be afraid of mistakes.

Great steps await you.

Keep moving forward.
