Boy, yes do we make mistakes, and in piano playing, so many of em sometimes! But you're right, it is how we learn from the mistakes and learn to correct them, and try not to repeat them. Mistakes as sounds I haven't heard ahead? lol....boy, that's a way to describe! Cheers, Song hello hello~~ bumped into your entry for the first time.

I read somewhere, I forgot whom - and this corroborates my own experience in software development - that some of the most valuable understanding comes when we search for something, and then 'by mistake' detour into something else not entirely related. As an example of a more extreme case, you have 3M Post-It Notes that were supposedly a 'failed attempt' at making powerful adhesives.<br /><br />Taking another detour, I have found more and more, that in software, and in life, that it is okay to have mistakes, so long as you learn and correct them, and try very hard not to repeat them. And that uncertainty is a fact, and is okay; not having all the answers right now is alright, and normal. On a slightly more spiritual level, of course, that calm is a direct result of faith in the Divine, so it would be silly of me to say that I am calm of 'my' own accord.
