Yesterday my 18-year old son, Sam, called me from home to say “Mom, while cooking a smoke-bomb on the kitchen stove I let it heat up too long and it exploded. The good news is that everything in the kitchen is o.k. – the bad news is when my spoon caught fire, I threw it into the living room and there is now a spoon-shaped burn on the sofa.” After wiping away my tears of laughter, I asked him what he learned from the episode, and he answered “next time my spoon catches fire, throw it towards the sink.” When was the last time you did something outside the box? The greatest satisfaction I get from working at REIC is we create solutions by refusing to say “it can’t be done” and finding a way to create success for clients, when others give up. So keep going, keep looking, and create your own amazing destiny!

So true. It is hard to hit a moving target. Keep moving. Mistake = poor judgment = understanding = wisdom. This does not mean we have to make the mistakes, we can learn from others mistakes and successes.
I love the outside the box thinking from Sam!
