On Making Mistakes

Most mistakes are made because of arrogance, ignorance, or negligence.

People either charge in thinking they can do a something before they have learned how to do it; OR they have the theoretical skills but don’t have the practical ones yet; OR they know both what to do and how to do it but are being careless.

I’m not saying these are bad things, per se; people learn from their mistakes. But it’s good to know where those mistakes are arising from.
