Promise yourself you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible. Promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in yourself and others. Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
When you hurry you're more apt to make mistakes. But you have to be quick. If you're not quick you can't get things done.
The team that makes the most mistakes usually wins, because doers make mistakes
Don't mistake activity with achievement.
It's always about focusing not on the mistakes but on the lessons learned from them.
The close games are usually lost, rather than won. What I mean by that is games are mostly won because of the opponent making mistakes during crucial moments.
The person who is afraid to risk failure seldom has to face success. I expected my players to make mistakes, as long as they were mistakes of commission. A mistake of commission happens when you are doing what should be done but don't get the results you want.
Mistakes come from doing, but so does success.
Make no mistake, I always want to win, but I never fight with an opponent. My fight is within me it is the struggle to be the best I can be at whatever I do.
Hustle makes up for many a mistake.
The individual who is mistake-free is also probably sitting around doing nothing. And that is a very big mistake.
Let’s face it, we’re all imperfect and we’re going to fall short on occasion. But we must learn from failure and that will enable us to avoid repeating our mistakes. Through adversity, we learn, grow stronger, and become better people.
IF you are not making mistakes, then you are not doing anything....
A mistake is valuable if you do four things with it: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it
