but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
Now, my sister rightly points out that this Shavian plan for life can go off the tracks, mistake-wise, depending on what kind of mistakes one is making. She mentioned, with a bit of an edge, that the sword can be sharp on both sides, be on the careful side when you grab it….
Let's assume we're talking relatively benign mistakes, that don't hurt the ones you love too much too early in the morning, and we get to the intended point: gotta break some eggs to make omelets.
Life is living and learning, one hopes the mistakes are mostly part of the "learning" stuff and not too much part of the "living" stuff…..
