Cool!  How cool are answers anyway?   Answers to all life’s little questions.  Answers, for sale.  Free!  Big questions too?  No problem.

Where are these answers?  You guessed it.  They are inside you.  Feel gypped?  Wait, it gets worse… 

According to Edwin Land, inventor of the Polaroid camera,

“A mistake is a future benefit, the full value of which is yet to be realized.”

Okay, so maybe I misspoke… if a mistake is a future benefit, that’s better, not worse, right?

Answers are often not forthcoming without mistakes.   

Did I say free?

Misspoke again.  Come on!  Can’t I get anything right right out of the bag?

They say you get what you pay for.  That what goes around comes around.  Is that true too?

If it is true, mistakes – also read “miss-takes”- are what goes around.

Sometimes it makes my head ring thinking about it all going around and around, which is what I do with a great deal of my time…

So, if we do a mistake, then is a mistake going around?

What if we think of it as Land says, a future benefit going around to enlighten and enrich us?

If like me you are old enough to actually have taken a Polaroid picture, as in “shake it like a polaroid picture,” why not take a chance?  Maybe even a mistake. 

Go ahead.  Shake it for a bit.  Wait and watch as the benefits develop before your eyes. 

If Land is right, and I believe he is, benefits are just around the corner. 

With all my mistakes, I got so much cool stuff around my corner… 

How about you?

Peace and Love,
