Mistakes Make Solid Stepping Stones

Former Secretary of State, Colon Powell often reminds business leaders to learn to look through front windshields and avoid looking through back windows. Do you agree?
    
Because of the brain’s reflective capability as a central tool to business success,  I’d like to add its advantage to Powell’s suggestion. To reflect is to look both forward and backward. In fact, business leaders who gaze forward with a noble vision,  often remember to also glance back in order learn from mistakes. 
    
Any examples of how you reflect, or rethink major mistakes, in order to scoop up lessons from the past that will launch a better start?
    
Author, Henry Link showed why this is so.

 

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, another is busy making mistakes and becoming superior. 

 

     If reflection is the mental resource that changes mistakes into business growth, we can think of it as a sort of litmus test. By looking beyond mistaken ways you reacted in past, why not try a new approach this week for a reflective risk that adds growth?  
    
Don’t forget to ask and make a decision about, “where to from here?’ 
     
I like a daily reflection – even 10 minutes of quiet thought as I drive, or over a walk in the neighborhood. Make the most of your mistakes by recycling your thinking in ways that hand you new approaches, and you're getting far more from your brain than your competition likely gets from theirs.   
    
Any success stories out there of mistakes turned into stepping stones?
