If you’re a pro in your field, there’s basically one thing that differentiates you from the amateurs.

It’s that you know how to gracefully recover from mistakes.

Everyone will make mistakes. And the more you make the better you’ll get. But wallowing in a mistake, holding on to it, whining about it: that’s what an amateur does.

A pro’s response: ouch, that hurt. Now what can I learn from the mistake? How can I recover from my mistake? And how do I go on with my life?

What mistakes will you make today?
