Todays minimotivator fresh from my desk

Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare once wrote, "People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them."

I give people enough leeway and responsibility to let them go right and hope they don't go wrong too often. But when they do, and they do, I trust they will learn and only do that mistake once.

The same of course applies to me.

Sorry for the late minimotivator. Just realised I hadn't written it and immediately jumped online. Hope I catch a few of you to let you know you did great this week and to take a break this weekend, or on the way home by just sitting in silence. I turned my phone on silent, the car radio off and drove home with only my thoughts. Arrived home relaxed and ready for the weekend.

Nikki Giovanni said, "Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts."

If other people make mistakes that affect you, your life, or your business, how do you respond?

I have to go for a walk. Doing this stops me from focusing on the mistake and helps me work out how to fix the system or situation that caused the mistake to happen.

What do you do?
