Sıfırdan deyil, səhvdən başla | Rasim Abiyev | TEDxBakikhanov Street Live

The speaker argues that starting from scratch, especially by making mistakes, is more beneficial than starting with a clean slate without prior experience. Mistakes are presented not as failures, but as valuable learning opportunities that lead to growth and ultimately, success. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about a flawed scientific article where the months spent debugging and refining, rather than the final result, provided the most significant learning. This concept is further illustrated through the analogy of artificial intelligence systems. AI models, like those using gradient descent, continuously correct their own errors through iterative processes, learning from each mistake until an optimal result is achieved. In contrast, humans often fear making mistakes, leading to hesitation and discouragement. Systems, however, learn from repeated "defeats," with a significant portion of their output stemming from error correction. The speaker connects this idea to the Kaizen philosophy, which emphasizes continuous change and improvement through constant learning from mistakes and accepting shortcomings. The speaker's own experiences, including a science project on human DNA analysis and the development of an innovation-related project called "horse market," are cited as examples. Despite initial lack of experience and building on platforms like WordPress, the learning gained from overcoming challenges and mistakes proved more profound than anticipated. The core message is a call to reframe our perception of failure. Instead of viewing it negatively, it should be seen as a source of information and experience. The speaker encourages embracing the "right to make mistakes," asserting that this freedom leads to better results and personal strength. The transcript concludes by stating that perfection is unattainable for humans, and accepting this, along with the inevitability of making mistakes, is crucial for progress.
