One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was to just do things. Don’t worry if you’re going to mess up. Failure is a learning experience.

There are very few things in life that will actually blow up in your face or cause you serious physical harm if you do them wrong. Some bumps and bruises are to be expected, however, kind of like riding a bike.

I never met anybody who, as a kid, just sat on a bike and automatically knew how to ride it. You have to fall a few times. The rest of life is like that, too.

    Mistakes are some of the best learning experiences life gives you. [Aside: I’ve learned a lot in this life.]

  3. FAIL is first attempt at learning and never be afraid to fail so hard the tears run down your leg because you are laughing so hard.

  4. I remember myself at 14 learning to ride a bike. All human beings seemed to know to ride a bike but me. I learnt by myself AND I made sure no one would witness that comedy. Oh, dear lord, only I know how fun it was. SO, yes, falling it’s ok and normal and part of learning, but make sure no one sees you :))))
