Expect mistakes.
No matter how careful a person you are, mistakes will inevitably happen. Humans are just mistake prone. There’s no way around it. So, if you believe this — and I do — it is best to expect making mistakes.
If nothing else, if you expect to make mistakes, it may make you a bit more careful, so that you end up minimizing mistakes.
But they will always keep happening. Trust me.
Learn from your mistakes.
Even when you are careful, you can make the mistake you anticipated.
Despite constant mistakes, the ship carries on.
Amazing how many mistakes one makes in a single day. Most people just ignore minor mistakes and move on, but if you register and keep track of all of them, they add up big time. Of course, there are those people who are much more meticulous and deliberate in their actions, and so make far fewer mistakes, but I think this is a tiny minority. Most of us makes dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of mistakes every day. I think therefore that humanity is actually very mistake prone — perhaps much more mistake prone then is commonly realized.
