The poet Nikki Giovanni once said, “Mistakes are a fact of life. It’s the response to error that counts.” I couldn’t agree more. I have always been a risk taker and a gambler at heart, and if you operate that way, you screw things up from time to time. But I don’t spend a lot of time feeling regret. I’ve consistently learned from my mistakes, and to me, even if they’re costly—and some of them have been—if I learn something new, I consider it a positive experience.
