Why our mistakes are lessons?




We are born clumsy. You try to walk and you will fall. Try to swim and you will swallow water. Your heart will skip a beat from fear that you can get drown.
Nobody learned everything about life immediately, at the first moment. Some people are learning fast, others are behind them. What is in common,  people are not robots and not perfect. This means we will do plenty of mistakes in every field.

I remember when I wanted to learn to type on a keyboard with 10 fingers. This skill of typing I needed to make my job easier. I was in a mess and very slow. Later it was very useful so it saved my time. 

Mistakes are part of your life. Who will learn, work, and participate in anything that can't avoid mistakes? What is bad is judgment and contempt. 

"Oh, you are retarded. You don't know this? How you don't know simple and basic things?"

Every skill starts with a mistake. You will eat a bitter meal when you are cooking for the first time. You will stand on the foot of your partner when you try to dance. Also, if you are learning another language, you will do mistakes with grammar and spelling.

Some people are talented in particular fields. This talent is something born with them. Sergej Jesenjin was a wonderful Russian poet. Isidora Duncan was a dancer. Maria Callas was a singer in opera. They had a special gift and they used it.

The problem is when someone is pushed into fields where he doesn't belong. We can't all be familiar and celebrities. The sound of a bad voice or clumsy dancing will cause laugh and mocking. Such persons are the inspiration for stand up comedy from their attempts. We must know where we are standing and not to make shame from our attempts.

What is important, if we want to progress we must keep trying. 

If you never try, how will you know what is your limit?
Also, if you give up after a few mistakes, you are indeed weak. 
Cry because you got a bad mark? 
Fall in depression because your boss yells on you? 
Someone spit on your work? 

Well, deal with this as with challenges. Show them that you can.





The basic of every success is - learn from your mistakes. Update your masterpiece with these mistakes. Mistakes are warning and lessons if you can listen and hear their message you got the score.

People who never learned from their mistakes are still in stand by and pending positions. They are frozen because they gave up or did not know what to do next.

How authors' profile should look like?

Inspired by Instagram, I am writing this post. Many authors want to get followers there using the option follow to follow. How much is this kind of following honest and why does it look like a manipulation? Imagine you are going shopping. The vendor says: "If you buy this, I will buy something from you." This is not how things work, isn't it? The same is with social engagement. If you want to follow someone, you will do because this profile is something that attracted your attention. Some authors need to be more informed about what the author's profile should be like. A basic belief about the author's profile: Book links. Book covers. Book presentations. No profile photos, no selfies, or memes. If you have a photo, let it be professional. Now, I found some links that want to earn by photographing authors.  Authors are people. It means we have our emotions, reactions, and imagination. The primary task of every author is to represent himself to readers. Here is what

My horror novel: The curse of Dark sunrise

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BY34C83J?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420 Writing in various genres is always challenging.  This is my journey in horror genre. My novel is coming soon. The blurb: Dark sunrise is a religious cult. They are gathering members. Their supporters are people from destroyed families or those who suffer from depression.  Ana is recruited in the community when she came on the party in Croatia.   She accept to involve with a leader Victor, but he has other plans. Kidnapping a Serbian politician was a wrong move. When the new woman in the community appears, rivalry starts. Check out my book in Amazon.

When you are an indie author, you will need editing. That means you will hire an editor who should be professional, American or British. Sending your book to editing doesn't mean your job is over.

It happens even to successful writers.  What is important is to spend your money for editing in smart way. If you pay, you need to get edited book in return.
