The Courage of Children: Boston and Beyond XXX

“The most important
thing I learned is
that my mistakes
are my second
teacher.”
If people can say what they think and ask questions, then they are courageous
and successful. We need to remember that we cannot be the best without
mistakes. For example, if we are jumping we should crouch first, and jump the
highest that we can. However, if we listen to people’s comments about how we
will fail with jumping when we crouch, we will always stay crouching and never
show the courage to jump the highest that we can.
Never be scared or embarrassed about saying what you think, and don’t
change your mind because of other people’s comments. If you believe them
when they say, “You can’t do it,” then you will never try. You can show courage
and learn from your mistakes. First you need to trust yourself and your
mistakes.
