LEARNING FROM MISTAKES

I remember when I started elementary school, they gave me a pencil and an eraser. You'll wonder why I was given an eraser. Well, it's pretty simple: no learning process is complete without making mistakes. I think this is also why erasers were invented.

Likewise, in many different areas of human activity and life, some degree of error tends to occur, but it is what you do after it happens that matters. Do you focus on mistakes or do you learn from them and gain more knowledge?

When you see your child making a mistake with a pencil and erasing it with an eraser, this is a forced learning process for the child and with time he will learn from his mistakes. Therefore, pupils start with pencils and then move on to pens when they achieve a certain level of mastery. You see, the mistakes of the past built them to who they are today.

No matter how wrong you have been in the past, don't let it define you today. All you have to do is stand up and learn from your mistakes by correcting them and moving on. What self guilt will do is get the most out of us. But if you first acknowledge the error and then find the cause in the first place, you will overcome this self guilt, learn from the mistake and move on.

The truth is that if you can't be honest with yourself about why you made a mistake, you clearly haven't learned anything and you can repeat the mistake. The mistakes you are afraid of admitting can become your biggest loss in the future.

When errors occur in your life, uproot them quickly from the root before they become a part of you. When you make a mistake, don't worry and think that you are a failure. Take this as evidence that you are at least trying to succeed. Trust me, making mistakes is part of a whole new strategic experience and is much better than being static or not moving.

There are amazing feats that the world has witnessed by mistake. Take, for example, the invention of the light bulb by Edison. It is certainly easy to overlook the number of mistakes the inventor made, but he was not discouraged and at least was able to correct his invention. He is just one of many people who have been able to learn from their alleged mistakes and failures in achieving their goals.

No wonder people say that failure is not the end, but rather it is actually taking a few steps back to move further better. Winners include those who use their mistakes as stepping stones to climb higher. Nothing teaches such a resounding lesson as experiencing something firsthand.

It should be noted that when someone makes a mistake and tries again, they will have an advantage over the person who did not try because they will try again with the knowledge gained from the first try. So don't be afraid of failure, just be afraid of not trying.

Thank you.
