English: Mistakes provide the next lesson.

Thanks to a Twitter item this morning, I read this article: The beauty of unfinished work. Here's a takeaway message from that article:

Mistakes provide the next lesson.

Looking for an image to use, I remembered a great one that Magistra Susan had found at Cheezburger. So, I made a poster with that one:

I really liked the Latin version that Susan had done, so I also animated that by adding an English translation; you can see more of her Latin growth mindset memes at her Cheezburger Board: Digital Magistra:

Conabor rursus cras.

I will try again tomorrow.

Latin: Lege: sapere aude.

The image is from cheezburger. The phrase "sapere aude" comes from the poet Horace, and you can read more about it at this Wikipedia article.

Lege: sapere aude.

Read: dare to know.

Latin: Quaerendo invenietis.

The image is from cheezburger. Being curious and seeking solutions is an important part of the growth mindset!

Quaerendo invenietis.

Seek, and you will find.

Latin: Audendum est: age.

The image is from cheezburger. The Latin words come from Seneca's play Thyestes. The Latin starts with a gerundive, audendum est, "it is to be dared," and then an imperative, age: "do it!" For the English, I opted to keep it short and sweet.

Audendum est: age.

Dare to do it!

Latin: Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe.

The image is from Pixabay, and the poster is made with Automotivator.

For you Latin students, the word rēmus, "oar," is pronounced differently than the name of Remus, brother of Romulus. Remus has a short "e" while remus has a long "e" (spelled the same in Latin, but pronounced differently).

Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe.

If the winds fail you, use the oars.

Latin: Initium rerum gestarum desiderium est.

As Magistra Susan and I were brainstorming about Latin phrases, Susan had a very nice idea of using "res gestae" in a phrase, and one of the sententiae that emerged from that was this one! Made with cheezburger.

Initium rerum gestarum desiderium est.

Desire is the start of your accomplishments.

Latin: Persevera per severa.

Made with cheezburger.com.

Persevera per severa.

Persevere in severity.

Latin: Irrideo tempestatem.

Irrideo tempestatem.

I scoff at the storm.

Latin: Perseverando

This is a Latin motto: Perseverando. By persevering. The meme is made with Cheezburger.

Latin: Errando discitur.

The image is made with cheezburger.

We learn by making mistakes.

Don't worry: cats learn very quickly how to get out of the jar, and sometimes they even decide that it's a good game, as in this YouTube video. :-)
