25 Benefits from Making Mistakes

In his "Essay on Criticism," Alexander Pope famously wrote, “To err is human," which would be great if most organizations didn't expect us to rise above our humanity in our work. In fact, we are very human and we make faux pas, blunders and gaffes every single day of our lives. Most are small and inconsequential, while others are large and impactful. The upside--regardless of the mistake's size--is an opportunity to learn. There are nuggets of knowledge within our missteps and failures that can help us grow, do and be better and gain immeasurable wisdom.
