The Blame Game

How many times have you been told to take a chance, and not be afraid of making a mistake?

But no matter how often we hear it, we refrain from going out on a limb, because of our fear of those mistakes.

Of course nobody likes making mistakes, but they’re seldom insurmountable.

Most importantly, we all make them.

So get out there and do what you do.

Stop worrying about the potholes in the road ahead, and figure out how you’re going to get across them instead.

As Sean Connery pointed out in ‘Rising Sun’, the Japanese have the right attitude, "Fix the problem, not the blame."
