The Webster new encyclopedic dictionary defines the word mistake as to choose wrongly; to understand wrongly; to estimate incorrectly; to identify wrongly; a wrong judgment; or a wrong action or statement.
The definition above indicates that anybody can make a mistake irrespective of qualification, position, place of work etc.The word mistake invokes a negative outcome.
Most times bosses, colleagues and partners in the workplace forget the fact that mistakes have often being the mother of invention. Some worthwhile ideas and inventions have actually being a product of mistake. Take the case of correction fluid as an example.
Before somebody begins to get me wrong, am not saying you should go out there and be inventing all manners of mistake. But when they eventually occur, which is obvious once in a while take a positive look at it. As soon as a mistake occurs, the next thing that comes to mind is punishment as a way of correction or as a way to forestall future occurrence.
But in some cases, the reverse has actually produced better results. It has being identified that mistakes can be used to motivate employees.
The story is told about an executive who had lost 10 million pounds at IBM. His boss instead of firing him which seems to be the correct thing to do in that circumstance decided otherwise. When he was called to meet Thomas Watson Jr., president of the company, the young man had already cleared his desk. Do you know why you are here? asked Thomas Watson Jr. I suppose you’re going to fire me? the anxious executive replied. Fire you! Are you crazy? I’ve just spent 10 million pounds on your education.Punishing people for mistakes is a great way to kill off ideas. Once people realize they will suffer retribution when things go awry, they soon learn to play safe.
This is fine if you see an organization merely as a machine, with the people in it merely cogs. However, this approach is almost certainly bound to fail in our fast moving world where it is often more important to be flexible than to always get things right.The freedom to make mistakes is not a license to be reckless. You do not ignore mistakes by simply shrugging your shoulders and saying that too bad. Rather, you use them as an opportunity to encourage yet more learning, to get it right next time, to build fail-safe systems.
According to Dr. David M. Burns Aim for success not perfection.'' Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life''. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.Try adopting the principle that people can make mistakes but are not permitted to hole the ship below the waterline.
This has stood the test of time. The more you personally commit to the idea of experimentation the better. Involve your team, customers and other stakeholders in your experiments so that they are all sharing the success and any possible failure
So don't be afraid to make mistake,but each time it occour just encourage your self by the mistake and move on.There is always new thing to learn each time you make a mistake.
Goodluck untill we met again,

Why? Why not? Questions that create wealth
"Some people look at things the way they are and say why, while some look at things the way they could be and say why not?"– John Kennedy
I have always marveled at people who are not curious about anything; people who just take everything as it comes, and merely shrug off anything they don’t understand.
I marvel because I can’t understand them! How can anyone see or hear something completely new and not at least try to understand the "why " or "how" of it?I guess many feel that people like that are better off.
As far as they are concerned what they don’t know can’t hurt them. Well perhaps - but I’m afraid I can’t agree at all. I’m inclined to think that the greatest asset, next to a sense of humuor, is a healthy curiosity.
Curiosity may have "killed the cat" but where human beings are concerned, the only thing a healthy curiosity will kill is ignorance.
A healthy curiosity can also eradicate poverty and take an individual or organization to the next level. Most of the inventions and changes in our society are as a result of peoples’ curiosity.
"Why did the apple fall down?" and that resulted to Isaac Newton coming up with the law of gravity. That wasn’t the first time an apple is falling down, nor will he be the first person to witness it happen, but he was the first to ask the question why.
Albert Einstein once remarked "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never loss a holy curiosity.He spent a few years in the "garment center" pushing and pulling racks of dresses through the crowed street.
Now many of those who push these racks or hand trucks can’t see past the front of the truck. They are interested in only one thing-getting the dresses from one place to the next. That’s their job, and what else is there to think about?But our friend happened to be a curious nature.
He was interested in the dresses he transported. He learned their prices, and wondered why they were priced so high. During his spare time he went about finding out how much the material per dress was worth. He learned why manufacturing the dresses was so costly and thought about methods to cut down this cost. He went on to learn all he could about the business from his position behind a hand truck. It covered some years- and when the opportunity to go into business for himself arrived, he was ready. His ideas on lower manufacturing costs, and therefore lower prices for the same quality merchandise, couldn’t help but make him a success. He is now hiring many people to push his hand trucks around; and these people would have the same opportunity he had, if they would just exercise the same curiosity.
Dave Sutherland remarked "Sometimes the questions you ask are more important than the answers you receive."Some school of thought advised that we ask open-ended questions to enable us get positive response from people. The same can be adopted in trying to get positive response from ourselves. If you form the habit of asking questions when you come to a crossroad instead of giving up, the possibilities of coming out with answers that will not only proffer solutions to your challenges but is capable of changing the world will be endless.
The story is told of a young Igbo man. As a fresh university graduate, all his effort to secure contemporary employment met with countless failure. Surviving became so excruciating that he would rather die than live on. Suddenly, an idea struck his mind. He realized he could make a living from dealing in used clothes. "Why not?" he asked himself. So he went about the neighbourhood collecting items that the owners no longer needed - with a big sac, he would go from house to house requesting for these materials. And in a short while, he had amassed clothes of different shades-in size, style and texture. All at virtually no cost save his time and energy.Then he began putting his idea into practice – to recycle his collections. First, he loosened the entire fabric of each garment. Turned them inside out, and reassembled them in their former fashion. The result - the same old clothes, but relatively new in appearance. Can you believe this? His idea also introduced a new fashion in town. He went on to make a trade out of his discovery. And the business became so lucrative as to attract more participants. Worthless fabrics that were no good, only for the refuse heaps, began attracting money. Today, the man through this business acquired some of life’s conveniences to keep him comfortable.
According to Benjamin Franklin "The way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is waste neither time nor money but make use of both.
."Dr. Russell Conwell through his classical speech, "Acres of Diamonds" which he gave more than six thousand times inspired one woman. (This same story has inspired millions all over the world.
If you have not read the book "Acres of Diamonds" please do. You can even download from the Internet.). Back to our story.
She heard Dr. Conwell say that everyone has a great creative, inventive idea that are worth vastly more than all the gold ever mined. She believed him in spite of her doubting husband. Later, in her job as a menial file clerk pinning collated papers together, she stuck herself with a straight pin and had an intuitive flash that there had to be a better way. Then something inside of her began to tell her why not. She experimented with the idea and came up with paper clip. That was how she invented the paper clip, which made her a millionaire. Today, in the center of Philadelphia, in United States of America a six-story-high paper clip stands as a constant reminder that anyone can have a life-serving, life-benefiting, life prospering idea that will make everyone better off and no one worse of.
In the words of Rudyard Kipling "We are the opening verse of the opening of the chapter of endless possibilities."

DREAMS HAVE PRICES
Dreams have prices
His name was Joseph Lister, and he was a second-generation physician born in England in 1827. Back in the days when he began practising Medicine, surgery was a painful, grisly affair.
If you had the misfortune of being injured and requiring surgery in the mid-1800s, here’s what you could have expected: you would have been taken to a hospital’s surgical theater, a building that was separate from the main hospital to prevent the regular patients from becoming upset by the screaming.
(Anesthesia had not yet been developed.) You would have been strapped to a table that looked a lot like the one in your kitchen, under which sat a tub of sand, positioned to catch blood.A physician likely surrounded by a group of observers and assistants would have performed your surgery.
All of them would be dressed in the regular street cloths they wore throughout the course of the day while travelling around town and treating patients. The instruments the doctor used would have been pulled from a nearby drawer where they had been placed (unwashed) after the previous surgery.
And if your surgeon needed his hands free while working on you, he might have held this surgical knife between his teeth.Your chances of surviving surgery would be a little better than 50 percent.
If you had the misfortune of having your operation in a military hospital, your chances of surviving would go down to about 10 percent. Of surgery during that era, one contemporary doctor wrote, “A man laid on the operating table in one of our surgical hospitals is exposed to more chances of death than the English soldier on the field of Waterloo.” Like the other surgeons of his time, Lister was distressed by the death rate of his patients, but he was ignorant of the cause.
However, he was determined to discover a way to save more of his patients.Lister’s first major breakthrough came after his friend Thomas Anderson, a chemistry professor, gave him some writings.
The papers were written by scientist Louis Pastuer. In them the French scientist stated his opinion that gangrenes was caused not by air, but by bacteria and germs present in air. Lister thought those ideas were remarkable. And he theorized that if the dangerous microbes could be eliminated, his patients would have a better chance of avoiding gangrene, blood poisoning, and other infections that often killed them.
When Lister, who was working at a hospital in Edinburgh, presented his beliefs to the senior surgeons, he was taunted, ridiculed, and rejected. Each day as he made his rounds, his colleagues insulted and enticed him mercilessly.
He was an outcast.Despite the rejection of his peers and an inherently gently nature, Lister refused to back down. He continued his work and waited.
One day, two days, then four days passed. To his joy, after four days there were no signs of fever or blood poisoning. After six weeks, the boy was able to walk again.Amid criticism, Lister used carbolic acid in all his procedures.
During 1865 and 1866, he treated eleven patients with compound fractures, and none of his patients contracted infections. As he continued his new procedures, he did research to improve his methods, finding additional antiseptic substances that worked even better.In 1867, Lister published his findings, and still the medical profession ridiculed him.
For more than a decade, he communicated his findings and encouraged other doctors to adopt his practice. Finally in 1881, sixteen years after his first success with a patient, his peers at the international medical congress held in London recognized his advances.
They called his work perhaps the greatest advance that surgery had made. In 1883, he was knighted. In 1899, he was made a baron. Today, if you’ve had any kind of surgery (if you’ve not, l don’t pray you do), you owe Dr. Joseph Lister a debt of gratitude.His determination secured your safetyTo make a change you must be willing to pay a price.
Men and women who have changed this world didn’t come about it over night. Though they were rejected, the end product was always motivating them forward.
What is it God has placed in your hand today? That could be surviving grace of someone somewhere. Don’t expect to have the world carrying you shoulder high when you come about something new. It’s only you that sees’ it in your mind’s eye and only you can see it to it’s concluding end. Do not be caught wasting your valuable time with dream busters, they will always be around and you are doomed if you spend your energy proving to them that you can do it. Prove it by taking action.Take a look around you. Someone invented all that you see.
But the truth of the matter is that whoever is involved paid a price to see turn from dreams to reality. If they can, you can. Good luck.

TO ACHIEVE MORE GOALS,SAVE TIME
A definition of time management might be a process of gaining flexibility and cutting back time.
The advantage to having a time management plan is that we are loosing something that brings us reward and gaining something that brings us bigger rewards. We end up with a “no loosing” situation if our time management plan is right.
To develop a successful time management plan we must first evaluate our time.
We must sit down and ask ourselves
how long does it take us to eat?
How long does it take us to get dressed and groom for work?
How long does it take us to prepare the meals we have to eat?
Everything we do takes a certain amount of time. You might start out by writing down just how much time it takes to do each of your very have to tasks each day.
Then sit back and evaluate your list. Are you wasting 10 minutes here and there on those have to items that could be used for something else? Where our time goes is an essential element to determine for our entire time management plan if we want to begin spending more quality with the most important people of our lives and less wasted time on some routine task.
This is the absolute first step of creating your own personalized time management plan, a time management plan that will allow your more time to do the things in life that are most important to you. You must determine where you are wasting time and then decide how to use that time more effectively.
Once that time is lost, there is no calling it back. Another important element of creating a successful time management plan is to be sure and finish tasks before moving onto another task, unless you are at work, in a job that requires doing multiple tasks at one time (multi-tasking).
Once you finish one task, move onto the next task and follow in pursuit of finishing all tasks. Once you finish the last task, sit back for a moment in a comfortable position and think of what you accomplished.
How much time did it take you to complete task? Don’t forget to be keeping down your start time and end time. Of course this type of listing time of tasks works best for those things you do as routine each day.
You want to work on completing the tasks in as little time as possible so you that you have to add in the unexpected tasks of the day or…….much better…….so that you have time to do something you really, really want to do, something that is not routinely required of you to do.
For example, like visit on the phone with a favorite friend, your daughter or mother, or whoever, read some in the books you want to complete at some point or another in your lifetime.
A successful time management plan provides us with a source for more flexible schedules. When we have flexibility we have more time for ourselves. Once you have determined your priorities for time usage, then you can start adding tasks that you been putting off because you just don’t have the time to do them. So….you now need another list of goals and plans of tasks and things you want to do but never have the time to do. One of the best ways of keeping these lists is on your computer where you can quickly erase and add to. But then again, paper in a notebook is also good, perhaps a special book.
Time management is the process of working to succeed. When we work to succeed we reach our goals. We first have to decide what those goals are, of course, and then work toward them using our time management plan. You will probably have to sit down and really ponder on what is needed to reach each goal of set of goals, and of course, decide how much time each step of the way you will need.
Some people like to set short term goals, reach that goal and then set a long term goal. It might be a better plan to try and set short and long-
Time management is essential since it demands that a person plan, act on those plans and stay focused on those goals with motivation.
You must also keep reality in mind, and plan for the things out of your control that could go wrong and therefore steal time from your time management plan. Some examples would be computer failures, family illness, personal illness, inches and inches of snow and ice, horrible sudden tornados and hurricanes.
It is always wise to include elements of your time management plan in accordance to what could happen out of your control. You may want to have a plan ahead of time of using your time in some other manner if your computer fails. Catch up on your paper filing or something. Right now for me, I am experiencing an internet outage.
Time management is working to succeed. If you want to succeed then you must work hard every day to meet your goals. I recently cut down my preparing and eating breakfast time by about ten minutes. Instead of my usual meal, I now mix up a Zone Shake and drink it while doing some other chore like adding to or emptying out the dishwasher, or even while opening up my daily e-mails. In reality here I am using ten extra minutes to work on my goals, rather than preparing and eating a regular breakfast.
so I encourage you to manage your time well,because TIME is money
