As George Bernard Shaw writes, “ A life spent making
mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing
nothing”.
Mistakes are something everybody makes and no man no matter
how virtuous, principled or great he might seem, could cross the journey in
this planet without making mistakes.
Life teaches everyone that mistakes can be expensive in your
life and no man can ever travel on this planet without a learning experience of
making mistakes. No matter what people label for having done so and so blunder,
it is definitely a blessing in disguise provided we are cautious enough not to
make that mistake again. It’s only
through mistakes we gain wisdom, we mature and learn to take the right steps in
the future coming years thus avoid such mistakes again. So, committing mistakes
implies progress and growth.
A good example of a great personality who had done 9,999
mistakes in his life before inventing the electric bulb is Thomas Alva
Edison. Had he feared to make mistakes,
he would have settled for a mediocre life and seldom have invented the electric
bulb and thus we still might have had to go on in or life with oil lamps at
night. Thomas Alva Edison was wise
enough each time not to repeat the same mistake again and so went on rectifying
his thinking thus finally when he invented the Electric Bulb.
So, guys don’t worry about what people might think about but
go ahead and discover your destiny and pursue your life focused on your goals
by learning from your mistakes.
I think you would agree with me that we all have made a fair
share of committing mistakes ourselves and need to take the blame for it. Though most of the mistakes might have been
with the desire to please your superiors, relatives or parents or for have unwisely
agreed to their decision. The other
mistakes could have been made by you for being naïve, innocent and
immature.
Now, the greatest lesson is to learn from the mistakes and
never ever repeat. This attitude of rectifying our mental attitude and looking
life in a matured way will enhance the quality of our life. We should also be grateful for getting wiser each
passing day compared to others who claim
to have made much fewer mistakes than you.
I finally state that mistakes are important and we must
learn a lesson from each of the mistakes by ensuring that we do not repeat it
again. Moreover, mistakes must be treated as a blessing in disguise just as
adversities in life come as blessing in disguise for all of us.
