Reply to comment by daisy0723 in [image] We can't avoid making mistakes, but we can learn a lot from them. by _Cautious_Memory

Real question was. How much did it cost?

This is GREAT for almost everything in daily life. Until it's at the "no room for error or high risk" jobs.

Doctors, engineers and designers for buildings, anything related to food/health, security.

Yeah she definitely compared a cash register job to a doctor.

It's not "comparing" that's the problem.

What should be taken that "failure" shouldn't be the default "go to" method to learn. It's the most expensive way to learn.

Assessed risk is the term. Can you constantly afford to throw away resources? Too many mistakes on the register would mean someone has to pay for the losses (usually out of the employee's check).

If you make a sound judgement and something did go wrong. The reason why you went through with it was because you could afford the risk and you were willing to learn from it.

So again, are you comparing a cash register job to a fucking doctor? Obviously there is little room for error with the doctor, that's why you went to school to learn about the thousands of mistakes that were made in the past.

Why the hell would anyone listen to someone saying "Be scared to make mistakes or it will cost you". That is literally the most DE-motivating thing I've heard, hands down.

Mistakes still happen, you have to discuss them and learn from them so that others will not repeat that mistake. It helps that most of these professions work in teams. This increases the odds the mistake will be seen and corrected.
