you cannot grow if you do not make mistakes. This is, basically, an iron law.
"Surprise" is, in many ways, the most elemental sign that a mistake has been recognized. If you rarely or never experience the feeling of surprise, one or more of the following is true:
- You're not making enough mistakes, you need to get out more.
- You're not paying enough attention to the mistakes you are making.
- Yes you are, stop lying to yourself.
