Cartoon's story is inspired by Lynn G. Robbins' speech:
"Mistakes are a fact of life. Learning to skillfully play the piano is essentially impossible without making thousands of mistakes - maybe even a million. To learn a foreign language, one must face the embarrassment of making thousands of mistakes - maybe even a million. Even the world’s greatest athletes never stop making mistakes.
“Success,” it has been said, “isn’t the absence of failure, but going from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm.”
