Mistakes are learning opportunities. When we make a mistake, it gives us a chance to learn.  All of the greatest athletes, entrepreneurs and and politicians have faced spectacular defeats and disappointments in their careers. That is not defines them though. Can you imagine if we let the Copa America and World losses that Messi experienced in his career define him? Crazy talk. He is the goat because who experienced painful losses and defeat and found a way to persevere! When we make mistakes, we should consider it valuable experience that will make us stronger and more resilient over time.
