One day Albert Einstein was teaching a class and wrote on the board. 9x1=9, 9x2=18, 9x3=27, he continued all the way up to 9x10

& put 91 as the answer.

The class broke out laughing because Einstein made a mistake. The correct answer to 9x10 is obviously 90, not 91…

So the students continue to laugh and started to make fun of him.

Einstein waited for everyone to be silent and said, with a smirk on his face. “Noticed how I got 9 problems correct, & no one congratulated me.

But when I made one mistake, everyone started laughing & Making jokes.

This means that even if a person is doing the right things. society will only notice the slightest of mistakes when they happen.”

So today’s reminder to you, is that mistakes are okay and a part of the process. Because as Einstein once said, “the only person who never makes a mistake is someone who does nothing.” And I see you doing something.

I’m proud of you 🙇🏼‍♂️❤️
