Why screwing up is just a creative way to learn.

I screwed up yesterday. If you saw my tweet around 5:30 last night, you’ll know what I did. For those who didn’t…

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a joke (as many of the reply’s to my tweet thought). I really did drive in the wrong direction to get gas, but luckily I didn’t run out of it on the way…

The point to talking about my attempt to find a gas station? To explain that screwing up is not a bad thing! “Screwing up” is an opportunity to “learn”. For example, I went 8 miles out of my way to learn:

1. There is a closer gas station to the toll road entrance on Bonita Canyon Rd.
2. That if I had just turned right instead of left, I would have known that in ¼ mile.
3. And that I should always look something up before I get in the car and drive.

Now it’s your turn: When is the last time you screwed up – and what did you learn?
