ABSTRACT

T he value of a mistake lies not in the mistake itself, but in what you learn from it. Not all mistakes are bad for you. It is our, and others', assertion that there can be such a thing as the right kind of mistake,

so long as the mistake was made in the right way, and lessons were learned from the experience. Having reviewed the mistakes people make in Chapter 3, in this chapter we will take a closer look at the lessons that were described by the 'My Biggest Mistake' authors.
