1/ When we attempt to do anything new - and often when we repeat something we have done before! - it is inevitable that we will make mistakes. I have made plenty in life and I continue to make them.
So many that I came up with "how to make mistakes" and I will infict that now!

2/ First, try to make small mistakes and learn bigger lessons from them. That way you make the mistake pay for itself.
What is a small mistake? Anyone that doesn& #39;t kill you or permanently haunt you is a small mistake. Now it is obvious why I like small mistakes.

3/ Second, try not to make the same mistake twice. That& #39;s not as easy as it sounds because to be sure we don& #39;t make the same mistake twice, we need to accept that we made a mistake in the first place.
For most of us, even accepting that we made a mistake to _ourselves_ is hard.

4/ Third, try to make recoverable mistakes when possible. That& #39;s not always possible but when you have a choice of actions, choose an action that, if it later proves to be a mistake, is easy to recover from.
As an example, lease equipment vs buying it when you are not sure.

5/ One way to accept a mistake is to ask yourself ahead of time when you perform an action "Under what conditions will I come to view this action as a mistake?" and try to write it down for yourself. This way it becomes easier to later accept a mistake and not attach your ego.
