Kwanzaa: A letter to my nephew. As you move forward into manhood, I guarantee that you will make mistakes. You NEED to make mistakes to grow. There is no way around that. Practice making better mistakes. Learn from the mistakes of others. Give yourself permission to mess up. Laugh at yourself every day. We are really not that important. Throw your anxiety to the wind.
