Why would I wake up in the morning and tell myself “I’m going to be wrong today”? While it’s true that I can do wrong, I don’t do it on purpose. Nobody does.
The only way I can be right all the time is by knowing what are the wrong things I do.
Only doing is learning. In other words, I have to do wrong and learn from it.
I’m not afraid to fail. I failed college, I failed a math course in high school, I have failed relationships.... my list of fail/wrong is really big.
Now that I know how to fail, there’s 2 things that I can do. I can either let it eat me the rest of my life or learn from it and make it push me forward.
