Mistakes make a lesson, so do questions

Mistakes make a lesson, so do questions.

These - mistakes, questions - generate learning points. Questioning is more of a pro-active way as it is done when one wants to clear doubts. However, mistakes come when one is unsure of his/her work.

For some, to question, it shows that one is slow and has slower rate of learning. Thus, they do not want to ask questions because they will be seen as weak. Mistakes happen when one has not fully understood the topic. 1 or 2 mistakes are pardonable. But when the mistakes snowball to 7 to 8 times. It is demoralising.

These barriers to questioning and mistakes have to be brought down. A positive behaviour will be; once in doubt, have the courage to bring up questions. Also, when plenty mistakes appear, have the determination to stop the mistakes from repeating.
