No one is perfect. Which is why pencils were made with erasers, and apologies were created. Many of us in life have made mistakes, big or small. We all don’t know everything that we should know, and most certainly we are always trying to get better at something that we do.
Even the most famous and important people have messed up a few times to many. Making mistakes is part of life, and we can never get hard on ourself just because we might have messed up a little bit. Always take this opportunity to learn from our faults and know how to handle the situation next time, or even avoid it all together so there is no chance of it happening again. No one is perfect, making a mistake is not going to be the end of our life. But it might just benefit us in the future.
Mistakes help us learn the existing theory of life between good and bad. Sometimes, a mistake may seem too good to approach it or it may be too dreadful to even dream about in your wildest dreams.
“In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.” – Robert T. Kiyosaki
If we didn’t learn from our mistakes, there would be so many things wrong in the world, and nothing would have developed or ever got discovered or invented, because whoever has invented the computer and other people who updated them didn’t get it all right the first try, and had to make mistakes to learn and grow from them to help them succeed.
There is always room to make mistakes, and to learn, and to work hard, and even to grow as a person. Everyone has made a mistake in their life; no one has learned everything the world has to offer them.
So L.E.A.R.N. From Them!
Listen to the person, and find out what the root of the problem is.
Empathize with the problem, so that you can put yourself in their shoes.
Admit that a mistake was made.
Repair the problem.
Negotiate a happy outcome.
LEARN from yourself, LEARN from your family members, LEARN from your children or pets, and LEARN from your mistakes.
“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.” – John C. Maxwell
Basically the idea is that we should NEVER stop learning. When we stop learning, our life stops growing. If we stop learning it is no better than quitting. This means that we need to make mistakes, we cannot fear our mistakes, rather we should embrace them as a source of learning.
