"أحياناً تكون محقاً وأحياناً تكون مخطئاً"

Life is a mix of hits and misses. That’s the heart of it. Sometimes, you nail it. Other times, you fall flat on your face. This idea is as old as time yet as fresh as this morning’s coffee. It’s about understanding that perfection isn’t the goal—learning is.

Picture this: it’s 2008, and the world is in the middle of a financial meltdown. Economists, experts, and regular folks alike are trying to figure out what went wrong. Some made calls that turned out to be dead wrong, others saw it coming but couldn’t do much to stop it. The big takeaway? Even the pros mess up. And that’s okay. It’s a chance to adapt and improve.

Now, think about all those times you’ve tried something new. Maybe it’s cooking a new recipe. You follow the steps but halfway through, you realize you’ve added way too much salt. Dinner’s ruined. Or is it? Maybe you learn to adjust flavors next time, or you figure out a clever fix on the spot. You see, being wrong is part of the process.

Here’s a real-world example: Thomas Edison. Remember him? He’s the guy who invented the light bulb. But what a lot of people don’t talk about is how many times he failed. Thousands of attempts, thousands of failures. Yet each mistake brought him closer to the solution. He didn’t see them as failures—just steps toward the final product.

So how can you apply this wisdom? Start seeing mistakes as stepping stones. Next time you mess up at work or school, take a moment. What can you learn from this? Break it down, figure out where it went off track, and adjust. Don’t beat yourself up. Instead, treat it as a learning curve.

Imagine this scenario. You’re starting a new job. It’s your first week, and you’re eager to impress. But then, you send an important email with a glaring typo. Your heart sinks. What will your boss think? Turns out, your boss has been there. They’ve made mistakes too. They might even respect you more for owning it and fixing it. So, you apologize, correct the error, and move on. What could have been a disaster turns into a growth moment.

By now, you get it. Life’s a balance of right and wrong. Embrace it. Don’t shy away from risks because you fear failure. Dive in, knowing you’ll mess up sometimes. But each mistake is a lesson in disguise. Keep learning, keep growing. And hey, next time you’re at that crossroads of success and failure, remember—you’re in good company. We all are.
