The power of words: Making Mistakes - Making Learnings?

I've been thinking about how I sometimes avoid doing things because I'm worried about making a mistake. I wonder how things might be different if instead of calling them mistakes, I realise that each mistake has the potential to contain a learning? What if, at the end of the day, we could say "Wow! I had 10 new learnings today" rather than think that I've made a mistake. This would open up the possibility of risk-taking, as an avebue to greater creativity and innovation in our lives, our workplaces and our society.
