A short YouTube monologue by Sachin Patel arguing that admired people often made many mistakes and learned from them; surrounding oneself with the right mentors reduces repeat errors. Patel emphasizes that mistakes are isolated events—not a person or life—and that failure only occurs when we fail to learn from those mistakes.
Another thing to keep in mind for everyone is the people that we admire the most are the people that have probably made the most mistakes. They've learned the most lessons along the way. They've done many things that they would probably look back and say incorrectly. And that's part of it. So if we can surround ourselves with the right people that can coach us, then we're much less likely to make those mistakes. But that's part of it, right? It's only failure if we don't learn anything. The failure to learn from, you know, a mistake, a mistake, it's just a take, right? It's not a life. It's not a person. It's just one situation where things could have gone a little bit differently. And so it's important for us to dissect that, learn from it so that it doesn't happen again if at all possible. In many cases, that is possible.
