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.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes.  Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
