The speaker confused dynamite with the atomic bomb in a previous video. He thanks viewer Evan for the correction and argues that mistakes are normal, not shameful. Taking responsibility and learning from errors is how you actually improve.
Hey everyone, here's your moment of yes for today. It's an easy one. Embrace the mistakes. And the reason I say that is I got an email from my good man Evan telling me that my moment of yes from yesterday actually screwed up the information about Alfred Nobel, that he didn't— he wasn't— he didn't invent the atomic bomb, he invented dynamite. So I was off by a few generations there as far as technology. So it wasn't Atomic bomb. It was dynamite, but the story and the idea is the same. So I'm like, all right, so what do I do? Should I, should I reshoot that one? Should I— what should I dub over my voice? And no, I'm like, no, I screwed up. That's my moment of yes today, which is I made a mistake. It's totally okay, and there's no need to, to erase it, correct it. I mean, obviously I'm correcting it by taking responsibility for it. And giving you the real information, but embracing the idea that we make mistakes, that we screw up. Yet we often live in a culture and a society that tries us, that tries to want us feel that didn't make a whole lot of sense, but I'm sticking with it. That makes us want to feel that we have to be right and that we have to be perfect and that we can't make mistakes and making mistakes are bad. But it's totally okay. Mistakes are a normal part of life, and if we can embrace them when we make them. Take responsibility for them, and then accountability, and say, "Oh wow, I totally screwed up. What can I do to make this better? Because I want to learn from it." And so your moment of yes for today is embrace the mistakes, take responsibility for them, and then learn from them. Find out what you need to learn to get better, as I am today with Mr. Alfred Nobel. Thank you, Evan, for holding me accountable. That's your moment of yes for today. Have a wonderful day.
