Making Mistakes

Do you know the reason the inventors of pencil added eraser to it? They understood that making mistakes still forms a very crucial part of the learning process. This is why you should not be afraid of making mistakes, you should only be afraid of not trying at all. The truth is, trying and making mistakes is better than not trying at all. When you try and make mistake, you will learn something new that will help you to have a better trial the next time.

Many people's success story cannot be complete without mentioning obvious errors they made and corrected. Each time you make mistake, do not see it as failure but a stepping stone to achieve something better. Sometimes, you only need to accept your errors and then move to do something better. If you do not come to terms with the errors of the past, it may affect your future trials.

Each time you make mistake, you need to ask yourself why the mistake was made. This is because you can only correct the mistake you know about. Trust me, if you refuse to tell yourself the sincere truth about why you made the mistake in the first place, you may repeat the same mistake over and again. To move pass a mistake, you should first acknowledged it, find the source, then the solution will be staring at you. Cos most times, the solution to a problem is not far away from the problem, you only need to identify the problem.

When someone tells you something, there is a probability that you may forget it over time. However, when you discover how to get something done (through trials, errors, corrections, etc), you will not be quick to forget it. Whenever you are to try something new, remove the mentality of failure, cos mistakes do not equal to failure. Mistakes only become failures when you have failed to learn something from them to make yourself better.

You will be surprised to know how many times many successful people had to try until they hit their mark. Success is not reserved for people who easily quit after their first mistake. Your mistakes have one purpose; either to break you or to make you - this is dependent on how you react to the mistakes.

Each time you give a trial towards something and it does not work at the first trial, just try again but differently and you may just be a step away from your breakthrough.
