Only by acting, a person has the opportunity to learn something. However, activity is always fraught with the risk of doing something wrong. In this case, they say that the person fails. He tells himself that he made a mistake, he committed the wrong thing. Because of this, people often consider themselves bad.
The price of passivity
However, he who does not make mistakes does nothing, and vice versa - a non-initiative person, of course, will insure himself against a mistake, but at the cost of his own passivity. Even having the necessary professional skills, he prefers not to attend interviews at reputable companies, as he is afraid that his candidacy will be rejected.
Getting acquainted with an outsider, we always run the risk of getting rejected from him. Maybe this mysterious stranger will respond to signs of attention from a man, or maybe not. However, this does not mean at all that no attempts will be made on his part. After all, every strong person can put up with his own success, survive it. Inside, he is able to accept the fact of failure and will not blame himself or the people who refused.
Internal weakness
The one who is weak, unconsciously seeks for himself either too easy paths, or, conversely, deliberately chooses overly difficult tasks that cannot be dealt with. For example, he may choose too simple or too hard work. Such people cannot bear the feeling of dissatisfaction, therefore they often prefer easy ways. If hard work is chosen or the bar is set too high, failure will not be attributed to a person’s personal qualities. In both cases, he is afraid of failure, forgetting that the one who does nothing is never wrong. And the reason for this is the fear of failure.
Error - activity indicator
The question of choice is not easy for many. And every person who is serious about his own life should remember the words: "He is not mistaken, who does nothing." It is in errors that the opportunity to know oneself, one’s potential lies. Errors are not only an indicator that a certain action was performed incorrectly. They also indicate that a person has taken an active position, began to transform reality around him. Today he works as a waiter or cleaner, but if he continues to act, then soon the scenery in his life will change. Not necessarily immediately it will be the office of the head. But definitely people who are not tired of working will sooner or later find the right path and achieve the desired results.
Singer's courage
Many great people were once called losers. But they lived according to the principle "he who does not make mistakes does nothing." For example, the inventor and industrialist from the United States A. Singer never considered himself the first creator of a sewing machine. However, he managed to significantly improve the then model. The inventor realized that the thread in the machine will not be confused if the shuttle is located in a horizontal position. Singer also saw that the model can be improved with the help of a foot pedal and a fabric board - so hands will be free. Although the very first Singer machine was sold at a high price, there were many skeptics who criticized this invention. They called her "ridiculous oddity." Meanwhile, Singer’s invention formed the basis for the production of sewing machines for several decades to come. If the inventor was afraid of failure and looked back at society, he would hardly begin to reveal his creation to the world.
Edison example
Apparently, the principle “He who does not make mistakes does nothing” formed the basis of the work of the desperate inventor Thomas Edison. After all, he made almost a thousand attempts before finding the right material for the light bulb. Ultimately, he managed to achieve his goal. And about the work done, Edison said this: "I just discovered 999 unsuccessful options."
Oblomov's lifestyle in this regard is one of the most revealing arguments from the literature. “The one who does nothing is not mistaken” - these words could be taken as the credo of this literary hero. Oblomov - frozen like a wax figure, the supply of his vitality is scarce. Neither love nor friendship lifts him from the sofa; he constantly lies and sleeps. Of course, Oblomov does not make mistakes. However, his lifestyle is similar to the existence of an amoeba.
“He who does nothing is not mistaken”: who said this phrase?
In reality, these words have no author. This is a proverb that still does not lose its relevance. Now it’s clear who said "Who is not mistaken, he does nothing"? Yes, these words were spoken by the people themselves. However, the ancient Greek philosopher Euripides has a quote with a similar meaning. He said that the person who commits a lot also makes many mistakes. And the Turkish proverb says: "Whoever wears water breaks the jug."
