Only those who do nothing make no mistakes

This is one of my personal favorites.
One day, Albert Einstein started to write the nine times table on the blackboard
Table Result 1 x 9 9 2 x 9 18 3 x 9 27 4 x 9 36 5 x 9 45 6 x 9 54 7 x 9 63 8 x 9 72 9 x 9 81 10 x 9 91 The class mocked and made fun of him because he had made a mistake, as the correct answer for 10 x 9 is 90.
Einstein waited for everyone to stop and said
Despite me answering the first 9 questions correctly, no one congratulated me. Instead, when I made one mistake, everyone spotted it and started laughing. This means that despite being very successful, society will only notice the smallest mistake and make a big deal out of it. Don’t let simple criticism destroy your dreams.
Moral of the story
Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
This is 100% true. Nobody will ever pat you on the back and tell you what a great job you’re doing, but they will be the first to tell you something is wrong.

nice observation

@crazycells yes, one of my favorites. People seem very quick to criticize when you do something wrong, yet never say anything when you get it right.
