Paradox Ironic » Our Minds https://www.paradoxironic.com Everything in life resolves to paradox, irony, or both.

When learning how to do something, we’re actually learning all the ways not to do that something. The learning process is based on errors. We have an image of what we want to do and we can eventually learn to do it by failing to do it over and over. Observe an infant learning to reach out to touch or pick up an object. At first his hand flails around, missing its’ target. Gradually his brain gathers the visual feedback information from all the missed targets and can operate the arm successfully to reach the desired target. That learning process doesn’t stop with simply learning the basics. As anyone knows who has learned to play a musical instrument or how to type, much practice is required to succeed.

All success in life is based on learning by way of eliminating the errors. This is one of the best examples of how irony and paradox acceptance can help you in life. Do not be afraid to fail over and over again when there is something you’re trying to accomplish.
