“The day you told me not to make mistakes, indirectly you were telling me not to succeed; for mistakes are the way to success.”
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
Don’t mistake the value of your mistakes.
Failure is a form of feedback, it shows you what does not work.
Your reward lies in how many mistakes you are willing to brave in order to find what you want.
