Einstein asked for a bigger Dustbin!
That was a time when he was deported out of Germany and got asylum in the US.
He was taken to a new research centre allocated to him in Princeton.
They asked him if he liked the research centre. Is there any facility that is missing, they asked. He told them that the dust bin kept there is too small and he needs a bigger one.
Why, they asked.
“I am not an expert to do all the research 100% right, the first time itself. I will make mistakes. Hence, the need for a bigger bin.”, he told them.
Making mistakes is the first step to success.
But psychologically, that puts lot of pressure on us and we tend not to do anything so that we can avoid making mistakes. How smart, right? No.
Every single thing we do in day to day life goes through a learning process. We don’t know how to flash a smart card in the local metro, the first time we travel. But eventually, we get it right.
Life does not come with user manual. We learn by trial and error.
Fortunately, when it comes to Business or Sales, there are some specific methodologies, tried and tested ones. But that does not guarantee success.
Making mistakes is common. What is uncommon is taking up a work knowing fully well that we will make mistakes initially. And persevering until getting it right.
Having the determination to get it right, come what may, will lead us to Success.
Happy Succeeding!
