Making Mistakes

This week I’d like to refer you to a blog post that contains some good laughs and also some reassurance, which could come in handy this time in the academic year.  When you make mistakes – and we all do it – never believe that you can’t recover or that it’s the end of the world, even though the big ones feel that way sometimes.  You can’t accomplish anything of value or originality that doesn’t occasionally involve an “oops” or two.  Take a minute to read, “Why You Should Make More Mistakes,” and take another minute to click on the stories linked in the piece about famous people’s work flubs.  You will smile and you’ll also feel better about your own faux pas.
