Hello everyone and welcome to another interesting Accelerator Contest Week5. I come with another interesting participation on the said theme above, i believe you will learn.
Nobody is above mistakes in life, we make some mistakes due to ignorance while some attempt to take a risk, I have made several mistakes in life that have affected me in some ways but did not pull me down from being strong, read below yo learn from my mistakes and tips that help me overcome.
What are the mistakes you think you have made since you were born? |
|---|
The first biggest mistake I made was gambling my school fees to bet in bet9ja, I wanted to multiply the money so that I can have enough for that semester. I just bet 3odd sure games with 60,000, Lo and behold I lose my school fees.
That affected me, in tension to find money to pay for my fees and depression, my performance was so poor and it ended up affecting my performance and result.
Another mistake I made in life was the decision not to learn a trade at a younger age, I have an uncle who wanted to teach me how to run a business and trade all kinds of fabrics many years ago, but I refuse.
I shattered that opportunity because of my ignorance and nonsense decision, now I everyday regretted my action. My uncle is now a multi-millionaire because the fabric business is now lucrative in the market, but he is too busy he doesn't have time again to teach me.
While in my 200-level education, I was offered an appointment to work in the Nigeria police force, to have a Inspector cadre rank with my diploma, I refuse saying I want to come out with a good result then I get a good job.
After graduating for many years now, I did not see any good jobs. my brother accepted the offer at that time, he is now doing well and even went to school while working.
Hmmm! Each time I think of these silly mistakes, I always feel so bad, could it be village people? Or the devil, but I still trust in my ability, I don't let these past mistakes make me lose hope of doing more great things.
Do you think it is your past mistakes that are affecting your growth in life? |
|---|
To some extent, our past mistakes do affect us in some ways, but will never change who we are going to be. Mistakes draw us back in some ways.
For instance, if you have a job offer or an opportunity just like the instance above, and you declined, you may be struggling instead of being stable.
In an instance where I use my school fee to gamble and lost it, I was depressed and that affected my overall performance in school, the grade I was supposed to graduate with is not the grade I got, which affected my result. If a slot for a student with first-class honors comes, I may not enjoy it.
But at present, my past mistake is not currently affecting my growth because I am not doing bad, and I have a little job and a good life and I always remain grateful to God for that. I have put the past behind me and moved on.
Do you always blame people or yourself for making mistakes, as no one can be perfect? |
|---|
I don't blame anybody nor myself because no one is above ignorance and decisions we may stand to regret, and people on the other hand only offer the opportunity which may be risky or profitable and will not force anyone to engage in.
The truth is, if we all can see the future before we do something, we will not be involved in things that will make us regret it, if we have the opportunity to rewind time, there are a lot of things we can make right. So it is no one intention to make a mistake.
Besides, I see some mistakes as lessons that make us stronger and realize our true values, why the need for pushing blames? I blame no one for my mistakes, they are scenarios in life that are meant to happen.
Share some tips for overcoming mistakes, both physically and virtually. |
|---|
Below are some important tips for overcoming common mistakes.
- Always Study and understand before you get involved
- learn from other people's mistakes and be wise in your decisions.
- put the past behind you and learn to forgive yourself and others.
- Do not be a victim of repeating the same mistakes.
- make consultations from people before finalizing a decision.
- Don't be afraid to try again because you failed, but try again in a unique way.
- Do not start if you think you cannot finish, high risk is not an option.
This among many others is the key point to avoid mistakes. In conclusion, mistakes are bound to happen but be always careful and wise in all your dealings and you stand to be victorious.
Thank you for reading.
