<p>"Do people have to pay attention to mistakes in order to make progress?"</p>
<p>How can I improve?? Also, please don't crush my confidence... thanks :)</p>
<p>Words cannot express the extent to which people overlook mistakes. One should not, however, fall prey to the misconception that it is excusable to think that people do not have to pay attention to mistakes; in order to develop, we must analyze our mistakes. Therefore, our errors provide unadulterated reflections that help us make progress if we pay attention and improve using these errors as founding basis. Hence, it could be said with utmost confidence that people have to pay attention to mistakes to make progress. Several social and historical examples verify this claim.</p>
<p>We need look no further than our triumphant technological advances. The primary underlying fact about our existence is this as long as we remain earthbound species and manage not to kill ourselves, there is a 100% chance of our eventual extinction. Our only defense to this is to develop by studying our mistakes. Our technological advances have risen because people/nations meticulously study errors made in history so that they are not repeated. In 1989, Canada and the USA constructed the worlds largest seismic-wave-logger that will measure pre-shock earthquakes. This design was based on an earlier version that failed due to its unstable structure. This example is significant and germane to the topic because it illustrates the importance of carefully examining every piece of error so that we can develop using them. Essentially, these errors mark the blue prints of development if we study them carefully.</p>
<p>Take as another example the play nest in which Heather Brooke meticulously constructs an archetypal failure, Charlie Townsed: he lives in a dilapidated home, and his business has failed. In analysis of Act I, it is evident that his professional failure is attributed to his carelessness in overlooking his errors. Charlie failed to realize that his reduction in profits was because of his method of salesmanship he stuck to orthodoxy, which bored his customers but Townsed failed to realize, let alone improve, his flaws. Eventually, Townseds lack of attention to his mistakes was a prescription for disaster. Heather Brooke wanted to illustrate that people must put great care and attention in their work for errors they are the greatest teachers. If Townsed had studied his flaws, he could have climbed up to his potential unparalleled heights of success; he was actually a talented, but careless salesperson.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Einstein, father of innovation and brainchild of the E=mc2 formula, strongly believed that scientists must study flaws in their experiments or theories. His extraordinarily long career revolved around the trite maxim: mistakes are the greatest teacher. He utilized this in his experiments by carefully studying anomalies. In the end, he produced the flawless equation by studying and re-examining past mistakes. To this day, his laws and equations remain the founding basis of physics it hasnt been disproven. It is a surprise that Einstein once had trouble with developing his ideas as they were plagued with careless flaws.</p>
<p>An indisputable reality of life is that people need to pay attention to mistakes in order to progress and achieve success as an end product. In final analysis, studying flaws is the spark that will ignite the engines of development and success. As evidence for this claim comes from history to literature, it is universally accepted and should be enforced in all aspects of life.</p>
