Biggest Mistakes You've Made?
- deleted 19y ago[deleted]
- sherman 19y agoSitting on ideas only to see other people implement them and whiz by me. In hindsight, I've learned that I shouldn't wait and do what I need to do right now.
- tkiley 19y agoGood judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from practice. Practice entails making bad decisions. ;-) I've always been hesitant to make decisions when I didn't have all the information. My current approach is to gather a reasonable amount of information, throw my energy into a particular course of action, and be willing to turn on a dime if contraindications present themselves. To sum up: My biggest mistake has been my fear of mistakes.

- sabhishek 19y agoMoonlighting for so long, the sin of sins.
- bluishgreen 19y agoGrad School :(
- sherman 19y agoI wouldn't say grad school is a mistake. It's a good place to meet a lot of smart people that you could potentially partner with or even get technical advice from. Grad students that I know are geniuses.
