Being wrong or making a poor choice is an experience, not a final act.

He wrote the equations on the blackboard:

9 x 1 = 9, 9 x 2 = 18, 9 x 3 = 27, 9 x 4 = 36, 9 x 5 = 45

“Despite the fact that I analyzed nine problems correctly, no one congratulated me. But when I made one mistake, everyone started laughing. This means that even if a person is successful, society will notice their slightest mistake.

So, don’t let criticism destroy your dreams. The only person who never makes a mistake is someone who does nothing.”
