Action
Week 4
“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.”
George Bernard Shaw, 19th/20th Century Irish dramatist, essayist and critic
Translation for Adults
Anyone who is truly successful has made countless mistakes. The reason why successful people are always making mistakes is because they are always trying.
Before Thomas Edison finally invented the light bulb, he failed 3,000 times, but he never stopped try-
ing, which is why he finally succeeded. Not only was Thomas Edison unafraid to make mistakes, but also he realized that making mistakes is often the best way to learn. Don’t let the fear of failure deter you from trying and acting. When your efforts produce an undesirable result, learn from it, and then try again.
Translation for Kids
Michael Jordan is probably the best basketball player of all time. He made thousands of baskets, but he also missed thousands of baskets. In fact, he actually missed more baskets than most other players. One of the reasons why Michael Jordan is so great is that he always tried. Just like Michael Jordan, you too must
take action and be willing to make mistakes, and even fail. What matters is that you continue to try. If you always take action, then one day you will be a great Black Belt.
Class Discussion for Kids
