The blog post

We can all make mistakes, so I advocate for learning from mistakes through my book, podcast, and speaking. I do my best to learn from my mistakes, so I don't repeat them. I fail to meet that standard sometimes, and I try to learn from those moments (as I shared in this recent post).

A few times now, a friend has sent me a photo or tagged me on a LinkedIn post about a sign similar to the one below. They assume I'd love the sign and the sentiment.

"Mistakes are proof that you are trying."

My response?

It depends.
