Unlock Success: The 7 Phrases Successful People Secretly Avoid Saying
3) “I never make mistakes”
Truly successful people are not afraid to admit their mistakes. They understand that failure is an integral part of growth and learning.
Consider the story of Thomas Edison. He made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb.
When a reporter asked him how it felt to fail 1,000 times, Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”
This mindset shifts the focus from perfectionism to progress. It’s not about never making mistakes, but learning from them when they inevitably happen.
