Mistakes are great teachers
Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it’s usually very easy to find someone else’s mistakes, but is that useful ? Of course not.
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need to cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, what you shouldn’t do is run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.
When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Remember the reason for it, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.

"How old are you?" the radio studio manager at WXBN looked d at me.
"Fifteen," I said.
"And you want a job in radio? Syou be at school?" he asked.
How could I explain? I've always loved the radio. When I was about four or five years old, I remembered s close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. At the age of nine, I a
for jobs in small radio stations.
As I grew older, my i in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father's computer to the listeners, t
about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.
Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, a then they wanted to help. We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report(I did this by looking out of the window).
"OK, come with me," the WXBN manager said. I sat down in the studio, in front of a microphone. He was in a room, behind the glass wall.
"OK, let's do a sound check. Just tell me w you had for breakfast."
All radio presenters begin work with the same question.
"I had eggs, fruit and some milk."
"OK, That is great!" the man b the glass said.
And this was how my first real job in radio began.
