Dedicated to my mistakes
Every year millions of oaks are planted … by mistake. That’s because squirrels forget the location of around 75% of the acorns that they hide. By accident, the planet lives on. The totality of mistakes made by squirrles gives life to a whole ecosystem. So failures can lead to a whole new world, literally.
My successes are built from many mistakes. I use the symbol of the acorn shell to build little worlds as reminders that failure is a big part of life, and, sometimes, mistakes lead to something really great.
