I owe the mistakes I made, for who I am now..
Since my school days, I was the smartest student of all. I catch and learn things fast. My homework were always done. I was a perfectionist in everything I do. Mates and teachers adored me for who am I. But, that does not mean I do not make mistakes. I am a perfectionist who is imperfectly perfect. Out of a blue moon, I did mistakes and I still do. I believe most of us do.
However, I wonder why we are being judged by the mistakes we do? We are humans and we are incomplete without mistakes. If we never make any mistake, then there is no point in us being a human. As for me, I learn from my mistakes. I do not expect results in first attempt. I may appear to be a perfect person to many people. But, I knew how many mistakes and failures I went through before I became "perfect". I knew how much shits I had to go through before achieving the excel results. Not just me, each and everyone of us go through the shit before achieving success.
Some people out there might think that they are perfect and they can achieve what they want in a single try. But, not me. I believe in failures. I believe in mistakes. I tend to be wrong at times. When people tell me I'm wrong, I accept it with a whole-heart. However, I hate people who literally judge me based on the mistakes I do. My mistakes do not define me. I learn from mistakes.
People do not realize how do a pin-pointing fingers effect others. You tell someone they are wrong, they might accept it or not depending on their preference. However, using words such as horrible,terrible and such impacts the victim more than you think it actually does. You do not go around labeling people with such words. Addressing someone's mistake is indeed a good action. You help them to recognize their mistakes and find ways to improve the errors. But, there are proper ways to highlight mistakes. You may use words like, " that was a good effort, but you could have done better" instead of, "you did many mistakes and it was bad." Like for God sake, do you even know how much it effects someone. Think about it. You may even cause the victim to lose motivation and never try to do new things anymore. You just made someone lost their motivation and self-esteem. To you it may be small, but to others it is not. Humans do not go around destroying another human.
Next time, think before spitting out your words. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the person you are about to use harsh words at. Nobody is perfect and we don't have to be. We all learn from mistakes. I admit I did a mistake and I knew why that mistake happened. So, stop blaming and judging. Do not expect success in a single try. That is not how life works.
My secret of success is, do not expect it to be there in a single attempt. You need to fail several times to touch the peak of success. You need to break down few times to get attached again, stronger this time. Most importantly, it is not about winning or losing. It's about what you gained and learned throughout the journey. Do something for the knowledge, don't do it for the money or the fame.
