Yesterday, I was at my son’s baseball game. It didn’t go very well for his team, and in the car ride home we talked about how things went. I reminded him of the expression that mistakes are the greatest teacher.
Later in the evening, I found out that I didn’t get the distinguished teaching award at my university.
When I told my family, without hesitating my son replied: “Was the winner named ‘Mistakes?’ “
Perfect.
