Amazing Mistakes

I used to get really annoyed whenever I made a mistake but recently I realised that sometimes something good comes out of it. I learnt this out of a book called '31 Ways to Change the World' on pages 58 and 59.

Did you know that frisbies, Coca-Cola, popsicles, penicillin, potato chips, cheese, the discovery of America, and slinkies all resulted from a person making a mistake? I was very surprised when I read about these accidental discoveries.

Here are links to 2 of these stories:

So there you are, how amazing is that?! And guess what, I made a few mistakes in this post but I think I fixed them all. Maybe I would have been better off not fixing them!
