This world has a way of trying to homogenize you. Trying to sanitize you. Trying to scrub you of your unique divine genius, this world wants to make you regular – Cory Booker
When we take action, we always make mistakes… knowingly or unknowingly. They are bound to happen and it’s important to have a good attitude towards mistakes. Mistakes are an integral part of learning. They teach us what we need to learn. As Miles Davies once said, “Do not fear mistakes; there are none”.
Today when I look back, I know I have done ample of mistakes some of them have costed me huge losses. However, at that time I wasn’t sure if the learning I was getting out of so called “learning experience” would make me a better person. But I have realised now actually they did it was like a tiny drop of water in the ocean of experience called life.
Second thing I learned about mistake was not to take them seriously, this helped me immensely to grow as a person and understand others point of view. people who think you should know how to do something perfectly almost immediately are making a fundamental error that can prevent learning in both themselves and others around them. There is no end to new things you can learn from your mistakes but you would only realise that once you have gone past it.
So at times when I get understanding of the “learning experience aka mistakes” I just take one lesson at a time and keep moving.
“Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans” – Lenin.
