Elbert Hubbard, a US writer, is credited for this quote.
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
Often we use error and mistake interchangeably.
Most corporate honchos and government officials fear to make errors. They strive to keep their watch error free. It is called the zero error syndrome.
But by Hubbard's logic, if you fear to make an error, you have already made an error.
Therefore, there is no such thing as zero error (syndrome).
Hence proved.
