31. Learning from the Wrong
After all, the only thing we’ve got to help us is to do it wrong, and then learn from it. I realise, of course, that this is not the attitude of most people who think that they’ve got to be right all the time. Which reminds me of something FM used to say to us: “You are right – there’s nothing wrong with any of you. You’re all quite perfect, except for what you’re doing.” That’s rather wonderful, isn’t it?
