The phrase “If you mess up, do it so badly everyone will wonder how it’s even possible” suggests a rather dramatic approach to making mistakes. Here’s a clearer interpretation:
Turning a Mistake into a Remarkable Event
If you’re going to make a mistake, make it so spectacularly that it becomes memorable. This doesn’t mean you should aim to fail intentionally or recklessly. Instead, it highlights the importance of learning from failures and not being afraid of making errors. When mistakes are made on a large scale, they can often serve as powerful lessons and memorable stories.
The idea is to approach mistakes with a mindset that allows for learning and growth, rather than being paralyzed by fear of failure. Embrace your errors, learn from them, and use them as opportunities to improve and innovate.
