  Speaker 3: A man was driving through the countryside when his car
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: suddenly breaks down near a farm. As he's inspecting the engine,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: he hears a voice say, the problem is with your alternator. Surprised,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: he looks around but doesn't see anyone over here, says
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: the voice again. He looks towards the pasture and sees
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a horse staring right at him. Did you just talk,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the man asked, bewildered. Yes, says the horse, and you
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: know a little bit about cars, trust me, it's your alternator. Stunned,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the man calls for a tow truck. While waiting, he
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: walks over to the farmhouse to share his bizarre experience. Hey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the man says to the farmer, Your horse just told
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: me what's wrong with my car. The farmer looks at him,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: chuckles and replies, AH, don't listen to that horse. He
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't know anything about cars. The man, still in shock, says,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: but he was so convincing. The farmer grins and says,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised that horse thinks he knows everything. He
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: even claims to give stock market tips. But just between
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: you and me, if you want real advice, you should
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: go talk to the cow. There's an old saying which
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: tells us that practice makes perfect. It's not totally true
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that practice makes perfect. What makes perfection is learning from mistakes.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: The mistake, when it happens, can be a good thing
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: because it opens us up to new possibilities. We will
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: talk about this in this week's episode of Positively three
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: sixty five, but first we have our trivia question of
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the day. Are you ready for it? Here it is
• 2:41

• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: The question was what is the only metal that is
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: liquid at room temperature? The answer mercury. Mercury is the
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: only metal that remains in liquid form at room temperature.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: The melting point of mercury is thirty seven point eight
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: nine degrees fahrenheit below zero. Its unique properties make it
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: useful in thermometers, barometers, and certain electrical switches. However, mercury
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: is also highly toxic, and its use has been largely
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: phased out in consumer products to protect health and the environment.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Now you know, mistakes can be a good thing because
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: they offer valuable lessons that help us grow and improve.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: When we reflect on what went wrong, we gain insights
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: that guide us toward better choices in the future. Mistakes
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: teach resilience, encouraging us to try again with greater wisdom
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and perseverance. They also foster personal growth by reminding us
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that failure is part of learning, not the end of
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the road. By embracing mistakes opportunities for improvement, we can
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: turn setbacks into stepping stones for success now and in
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the future. In the bleak, if milk is wasted, it
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk if it
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: gets any worse, it becomes cheese. Cheese is more valuable
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: than yogurt and milk. And if grape juice turns sour,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it turns into wine, which is even more expensive than
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: grape juice. You're not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: are experiences that make you more valuable as a person.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Christopher Columbus made a navigation error that led him to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: discover America. Alexander Fleming's mistake led him to invent penicillin.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Don't let your mistakes depress you. It's not practice that
