THE MARGIN OF ERROR - mistakes human nature

How munch of a margin of error do you have in your life

Do you give yourself room to, to put it bluntly, fuck up.

Giving yourself little or no room to mess up can make you a total fucking nut job you will become so tightly wound that you will stress out over the simplest things
the littlest things

A this just creates more and more anxiety there are things that probably require a zero margin of error like rocket science flying and landing a air plane and preforming surgery

but most of us are not doing these thing we are simply living our lives stressed over not messing up

if you fail badly or totally screw something up it is not the end of the world 


as u can see doctors do make mistake that go bad

rocket scientists do screw up ad space shuttle,s break at the wrong time
truth making mistakes and errors is human nature we are not robots and computers where everything is so measures and precise we have to have room to breathe and make errors no matter how much we want perfection

QUOTES ON MISTAKES

If one wants to be active, one must not be afraid of going wrong, one must not be afraid of making mistakes now and then. Many people think that they will become good just by doing no harm -- but that's a lie.... That way lies stagnation, mediocrity. VINCENT VAN GOGH, letter to Theo van Gogh, Oct. 1884 The errors of a man are what make him really lovable. JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE, The Maxims and Reflections of Goethe It is much easier at all times to prevent an evil than to rectify mistakes. GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to James McHenry, Aug. 10, 1798 If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. BILL CLINTON Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. OSCAR WILDE, Lady Windermere's Fan It is with pleasure I receive reproof, when reproof is due, because no person can be readier to accuse me, than I am to acknowledge an error, when I am guilty of one; nor more desirous of atoning for a crime, when I am sensible of having committed it. GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Governor Dinwiddie, Aug. 27, 1757 Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE If common sense were as unerring as calculus, as some suggest, I don't understand why so many mistakes are made so often by so many people. CARY WINKEL, as quoted in Explaining One's Self to Others: Reason-Giving in a Social Context To err is human, but it feels divine. MAE WEST, The Wit and Wisdom of Mae West A double error sometimes sets us right. PHILIP JAMES BAILEY, Festus To rectify past blunders is impossible, but we might profit by the experience of them. GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Fielding Lewis, Jul. 6, 1780 Hindsight is of little value in the decision-making process. It distorts our memory for events that occurred at the time of the decision so that the actual consequence seems to have been a "foregone conclusion." Thus, it may be difficult to learn from our mistakes. DIANE F. HALPERN, Thought and Knowledge An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them. WERNER HEISENBERG, Physics and Beyond I can bear to hear of imputed or real errors. The man who wishes to stand well in the opinion of others must do this; because he is thereby enabled to correct his faults, or remove prejudices which are imbibed against him. GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Joseph Reed, Jan. 14, 1776 All men may err; but he that keepeth not his folly, but repenteth, doeth well; but stubbornness cometh to great trouble. SOPHOCLES, Antigone Hindsight, or our ability to see our past clearly, is a learning function that, when damaged ... renders us unable to look at the past to guide ourselves through the present and into the future. Without this ability, we cannot learn from our mistakes. We cannot clean up the wreckage of our actions. We are locked into a cycle of repeating the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. This is commonly known as the definition of insanity. BARBARA S. COLE, The Gifts of Sobriety We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear bought experience. To enveigh against things that are past and irremediable, is unpleasing; but to steer clear of the shelves and rocks we have struck upon, is the part of wisdom, equally as incumbent on political as other men, who have their own little bark, or that of others, to navigate through the intricate paths of life, or the trackless ocean, to the haven of security and rest. GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Major-General Armstrong, Mar. 26, 1781 It's a good deal easier to resist the first step on the road to ruin than any of the thousand that inevitably follow. MARK FROST, The List of Seven If you don't have a margin for error, error kills you. S. M. STIRLING, The Sunrise Lands There are people who make no mistakes because they never wish to do anything worth doing. JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE, The Maxims and Reflections of Goethe Mistakes occur through haste, never through doing a thing leisurely. CHINESE PROVERB No error is infused into the young mind, to lie there dormant, or to be reproduced only when the subject of thought or action recurs to which the error belongs; but the error becomes a model or archetype, after whose likeness the active powers of the mind create a thousand other errors. HORACE MANN, Thoughts If you insist on disavowing that which is ugly about what you do ... you will never learn from your mistakes. CASSANDRA CLARE, City of Bones To make mistakes is human, but to profit from them is divine. ELBERT HUBBARD, The American Bible The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant. HENRY WARD BEECHER, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit It is not so difficult a task to plant new truths, as to root out old errors; for there is this paradox in men, they run after that which is new, but are prejudiced in favour of that which is old. CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon Though you may be last to discover your follies, be always first to correct them. NORMAN MACDONALD, Maxims and Moral Reflections It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half, and quarter-mistakes; to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place. JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE, The Maxims and Reflections of Goethe We are never so liable to fall into an error, as when we have just escaped from one. NORMAN MACDONALD, Maxims and Moral Reflections Even honest men mistake oftener in their own favor than in other peoples. FULKE GREVILLE, Maxims, Characters and Reflections I prefer being wrong in my own way to being right in someone else's. YEVGENY ZAMYATIN, Contemporary Russian Literature Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
