"The only men who never makes any mistakes, is the men who never does anything" - Roosevelt
This quotes from Roosevelt reminds us that, mistakes are the proof of effort, not failure. Action invites error, but inaction guarantee stagnation. Growth in our life requires, risk , experimentation, and courage. Those who fear mistakes, never achieve anything meaningful. Coming across this quotes today reminded me of journey on Hive. How it was a unknown crypto sphere and how i manage to survive all those years.

It should be noted that, progress in life belongs to those willing to try, fail, learn and continue. When I discovered this platform (or the earlier one) I was not into blogging or vlogging or even into crypto. Content writing was far not my niche. I began the Journey completely nowhere. I did mistakes in beginning. I learnt plagiarism.is not acceptable, then I began to share my own input, my experience on platform. Then I found out the scope in photography, and learned about portrait, macro and lenses adjustment in my mobile. Crypto was no where in my life. But gradually I learn bits and pieces of crypto and credit goes to hive. It was all due to the hive network. I was not comfortable with my English, even I got some bashing due to poor writing skill. But rather than leaving the platform, I held on to it and try to improve myself. My 8+ years was not a smooth one. I did made mistakes, is failed many a times but I kept trying and ultimately I ended up active even after so many years. Looking back, it gelt like a fairytale ride where I improved on mistakes.
Learning from mistakes
Trying in life is matter most, giving up easily without any try is an act of coward. Last two years was very challenging to me due to some personal commitment. I never lived alone, never rent accommodation, never cooked. But it all began suddenly. My life put me in testing phase and slowly I get on the rhythm to get better. Especially when its comes to cooking. I love to cook but never get a chance at home. In fact I do not have any experience in cooking before. But when life put me into the testing phase, I learned different recipe. It all does not started on a happy note. I failed to make a round chapati, I forget to add salt to my meals and many other things. Gradually it all get better. Todays in 2 years, I can try many recipes of my own. I can cook i get the estimate of salt and sugar and spices in the food. I tried, failed and then succeed.
Failure as fuel
The quote reframes "failure" not as a flaw, but as evidence of attempting to do something worthwhile. We have see many successful people don't avoid failure, they use it as fuel. It is merely a stepping stone in the process, not the final destination. Making mistakes is an inevitable consequence of taking action, trying new things, and making progress. It implies that avoiding errors by doing nothing leads to stagnation, whereas mistakes are a sign of effort, growth, and experience. The only way to never make a mistake is to stay within your comfort zone and take no risks.
I rather prefer a moving life than being stagnant without no reason.
In good faith - Peace!!
