One of the torturous things about my job is that, as time goes on, you get more and more clarity on all the things you've screwed up and all the mistakes you've made.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One tends to look back at the mistakes as the same thing - relinquishing control of something at some point in your career.
I work for a place that's been great to me over the years, and when you make a mistake, you're hurting your company as well.
All I know is that I've made some big screw-ups, and I've done some things that have done all right. I just keep trying to learn from the mistakes I've made.
I've made more mistakes than anyone I know. Sometimes I learned something, and sometimes I just find myself doing it again. It makes me mad when I wasn't smart enough to learn the first time. You just think it's going to be different the next time, and it's not, as it turns out.
I've felt that if you dwell too much on your errors, you're dealing in the negativity of things. I don't like that. I'd rather work on the positive reinforcement, the things I did well.
It's all about being professional. You can't be dwelling on mistakes.
You try and learn from some people's mistakes. But you have to really trust the people who are working for you because they make a lot of decisions that could either do well for you or really screw up your image.
Coming up with a way to fix mistakes challenges your creativity and your critical thinking skills and your resourcefulness. Often you end up with something better than what you planned on in the first place.
It's important to learn and not repeat the same mistakes. What's done is done.
I've been doing a lot of learning from mistakes, first and foremost, and building off that.
