Mistakes Happen..... How many times have we actually accepted it as our own ? Just ask 15-time Grammy Award winner, Adele. If you guys saw her Grammy awards performance you know what I am talking about.
She was only moments into her tribute to George Michael, when she stopped and asked to restart the song because it didn’t sound right. At this point of time I actually thought about my work (I know weird) but I am quite odd that way. Recently I experience something very similar when I was giving a presentation and I stopped as I thought it was not making any sense. I took a few moments and restarted only to be applauded by him.
But back to Adele, instead of being ridiculed, scorned or shunned, she's experiencing the exact opposite. Tweets are coming in from all over the globe celebrating Adele's courage to acknowledge her mistake, start over and deliver what was ultimately an amazing performance.
We may not all be on the Grammy stage with the eyes of the world upon us, but we can learn from Adele's courage and ability to embrace making mistakes. We are all human and we are all learners.
So let aside your failures and fear and let us put experience and learning at center stage. Please let me know if you have had similar experiences.
