  Good Mistakes

  有益的错误

  戴夫·鲍尔奇

  It's good to make mistake, and here is why.

  犯错是大有裨益的,原因有以下几点:

  First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is "You can't".Look around you.With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.

  首先,错误清楚地表明你正在尝试新鲜事物。尝试新事物总是好的,因为你会在这一过程中不断成长。 如果从不尝试任何新鲜事物,你怎么能进步?如何能发展?又何以创新?答案很简单:“你不能。”看看周遭,几乎无一例外,你在客观世界看到的每一件事,或是每一件事的每一个细节都是有人在尝试事物的结果。

  Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn't work.

  犯错的另一个好处是:犯错的过程也正是你学习的过程。想想看。爱迪生在改进电灯泡前失败了一万次。当被问到失败那么多次,感觉如何时,爱迪生说自己并没有失败一万次,而是获知了一万个并不奏效的事物。

  Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?

  最后一点,犯错之前正是你更为接近成功之日。这是为什么呢?

  Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeeded, Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.

  因为在成功前,当该说的说了,该做的做了,你所要进行的尝试是有限的。每犯一次错误,那些所要做的尝试就会减少一个,从而你离成功也就更近一步。

  But this all doesn't mean that you should forget ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.

  所有这些并不意味着你就该一个劲地往前冲,而不用考虑每一个错误的后果。恰恰相反,在尝试新事物时,你得主动设定一些合理的限度,以便当事态不尽如人意时,你能够再试一次。

  We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don't blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn,modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.

  在时间和金钱方面,我们的资源都是有限的,所以不要在一棵树上吊死,不要把所有的时间和金钱都投入到一个问题的解决途径上。要明白,第一次可能不会尽善尽美,要合理分配这些资源,这样你就能够学习,改进,并再次尝试。只有以这种方式欣然接受并利用你的错误,你才能在业务和事业上取得重大进步。

  There is an old axiom that goes, "If you're not making mistakes,you're not trying hard enough."

  有句古话说:“如果你没犯错误,就说明你没有尽力。”

  So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.

  所以,勇往直前,去犯错误吧。然后学习、成长,最后成功.
