365 Days of Python: Day #21 — Mindful Mistakes

Making mistakes is a part of life, and it took me a long time to realize that.

Although mistakes (in the moment) might make you feel like the dumbest person in the world, they often teach invaluable lessons. Most importantly, mistakes teach you what not to do.

Fail an exam? Reevaluate how you prepared and implement a more rigorous study plan before the next one.

Oversleep an alarm? Go to bed earlier.

Miss a deadline at work? Start using a scheduling software to keep you on track.

Whatever the mistake is, the worst thing that you can do is ignore it.
