“Failure concentrates the mind wonderfully. If you don't make mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”

“If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a mistake.”

“anyone who doesn't make mistakes isn't trying hard enough.”

“A mind filled with negative thoughts makes you feel miserable and inadequate and will lead to failure after failure no matter how hard you try to succeed.”

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”

“If you haven't failed, you're not trying hard enough.”
