Experience means failure and recovery. A experienced person who has never failed is not exactly experienced.
True.
utasikia sijui oh... we are encouraging mediocrity sijui what... from people who don't even know the meaning of the word "mediocrity". Mediocrity is literally doing nothing except what is standard. having only an average degree of quality, skills etc.; no better than standard. It's not failure. It's actually the opposite - Mediocre people don't fail - they rinse and repeat what has always worked. it's being average. keeping your head down... doing what you did 30 years ago because it works. <-- that is what is known as mediocrity. listen to all those people who use that term... their english is likely to be mediocre!
Reminds me of the one quote by Theodore Roosevelt,
Quote:It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
