“And now, for something completely the same:

Wasted time and wasted breath,
's what I'll make, until my death.
Helping people 'd be as good,
but I wouldn't, if I could.

For the few that help deserve,
have no need, or not the nerve,
help from strangers to accept,
plus from mine a few have wept.

Wept from joy, or from despair,
or just from my vengeful stare.
Ways I have, to look at stupid,
make them see I am not Cupid.

Make them see they are in error,
for of truth I am a bearer.
Most decide I'm just a bear,
mauling at them, - like I care.”
― Will Advise, Nothing is here...

Without making errors--and learning from them--a man cannot find the truth.”

“Errors and Evolution (The Sonnet)

Elimination of error is elimination of evolution,
What's needed is correction of error not elimination.
Why you ask - because error expands perception,
While absence of error indicates absence of ascension.
Pebbles don't make mistakes, for pebbles have no life.
People make mistakes, for people are alive and kicking.
Make the error, mend the error, that is how we grow.
Don't be ashamed, don't be boastful, just keep correcting.
Those who never make mistakes, never amount to anything,
Failures are the foundation of a legend's legacy.
Let them celebrate your triumphs all they want,
You for one celebrate your mistakes and misery.
The shallow measure a person by their glorious victories.
Those with character measure a character by their tragedies.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“The Marine Corps’ style of warfare requires intelligent leaders with a penchant for boldness and initiative down to the lowest levels. Boldness is an essential moral trait in a leader for it generates combat power beyond the physical means at hand. Initiative, the willingness to act on one’s own judgment, is a prerequisite for boldness. These traits carried to excess can lead to rashness, but we must realize that errors by junior leaders stemming from overboldness are a necessary part of learning.”
― U.S. Marine Corps, Warfighting

― Dominic Riccitello
