365QOD- Day7

"The way to succeed is to double your error rate. Thomas J.  Watson

Your boss might  not be thrilled with this statement because you are being paid not to make mistakes.  It is interesting to note that the quote came from the founder of IBM.  It seems that he understood that making mistakes is important to success.  However, I would add that making adjustments to the strategy and technique, before making another attempt, is just as important as the willingness to make another attempt.   

Pick an area in which you want to experience greater success.  Examine your current effort and strategy.  Be brutal with your honesty.  Then ask yourself:
                              "How do we make better mistakes today?"
