Already saw and commented on your GREAT article on your site! So I will post it here too!!! You are 100% right about learning from mistakes...something that is hard to do for we must admit we made a mistake, something the human mind is not easily conditioned to do :(
Susan,
Great post. I have one addition which I call the "Washing Machine Dilemma." We have a washing machine which we set on "5" for a good thirty minute cycle. Every once in a while we put it on "6" by mistake...the cycle is around two hours long. We know that to stop the too-long cycle entails stopping it, draining the water and spinning it before we can reset it to the proper number...so we just let it go for two hours. It wastes time and resources.
A big challenge for me is realizing that something is not working, stopping it and moving on to something more productive.
Great thought-provoking post!

You are right Yoni, about admitting them is hard. But if you take it as a step in the leaning process it makes it easier.
As I mentioned in my reply and thank you for commenting on the blog if you have check points that need to be reached it can give you early warning signs.
Have a great day both of you.
Susan
