Never compromise on design (mistakes) otherwise it will come back to haunt you later on.
Don’t jump on providing quick-fix solutions but think about the intricacy of the problem, segregate it, measure its consequences, plan the workflow, take the stakeholders into consent and then take the right decisions. Don’t be scared of making mistakes but do learn from them for future undertakings. Once a mistake but twice a crime.
It’s difficult to make decisions when you are not one of the stakeholders and unfortunately you will have to live by those prejudiced decisions taken by your senior and you can’t help but you should always voice it with facts. Never hold it back to yourself. Wrong is wrong, Right is right and nothing goes against you if you raise what is wrong, to your senior. However, if you are not heard and when it comes back to you for correction, you will have the last laugh internally.
Is there any co-relation between mistakes and bad decisions?
Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus beautifully explained the mistakes or bad decisions in their blog. Selecting the wrong answer on a test is a mistake; not studying for that test is a bad decision. The mistake was something you did without intention; the bad decision was made intentionally — often without regard for the consequence.
We all make mistakes. We all make bad decisions. They are part of the human experience. We can celebrate our mistakes (failure is often the key to success), and we can learn from our bad decisions — but let’s not confuse the one with the other.
Something that seems to be a fast and easy solution to fix a problem but is in fact not very good or will not last long and shoo away users.
A quick fix will not necessarily eliminate the problem in the long run, which is why companies should evaluate the source of the problem in a more in-depth manner after employing every temporary solution.
As an inventor, Thomas Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” He knew 1000 ways not to attempt to invent the light bulb.
Keep learning from your mistakes but keep voicing the wrong ones too.
