Introduction
When I was a child, I loved sweets very much. My main goal of getting out of bed was to eat candy, always waiting for me on the table in the kitchen, which my parents carefully left for me every morning. Furthermore, one day, Dad came home with a box of cakes, which he asked me not to eat but to wait for Mom and try them all together. However, I only heard “cakes” and “try.” After a few minutes, I finished the penultimate sweet and was very happy. However, after the euphoria passed, I realized I would have problems. Dad was going out to the garage, and I heard his footsteps coming back to my crime scene. Moreover, I could not think of anything better than to blame my dog. Dad listened to me patiently and then took me to the bathroom to wash the cake cream off my face. From that time, I have believed that it is essential to be honest, not be afraid of making mistakes, and learn from them. Furthermore, wiping your mouth with a napkin is necessary after cream cakes.
Importance of Making Mistakes
It is a normal phenomenon that every person makes mistakes in their life. After all, only those who do nothing and do not make decisions on their own never make mistakes. Failures are significant in our lives; they give a person a specific experience that allows them to adjust their actions in the future and take a wiser and more balanced approach to decision-making. It makes people grow as a person. You can learn from other people’s mistakes, but your mistakes are remembered better and allow you to remember once and for all how not to act and what not to do. I am also pleased that I already have the first mistakes. My mistakes suggest that I can make decisions on my own and look for a way out of this situation. Furthermore, a mistake allows you to act more wisely and deliberately next time.
At any age, whether a person is thirty or six, he will approach the committed offense with equal responsibility. However, in each period, the reaction will change accordingly with age. The experience that a person receives throughout his life can be both sad and vice versa, positive. Nevertheless, even the most bitter experience brings new abilities to the personality. Yes, some life cases are tough to bear mentally, but they are worth enduring. But next time, in a similar situation, you will need to remember what happened before and not make such mistakes. Do not be afraid to make a mistake because it will be excruciating to experience what happened. It’s better to take a risk and get burned at the beginning than to do it later.
My Recent Lessons
The history of great discoveries knows many examples of when mistakes led to the accumulation of experience and then to a positive result. Failures are always filled with wisdom from which we can learn a lesson. Mistakes are not a dead end; and they are just a door. How people approach their failures and deal with them allows them to grow. Although I do not allow myself to turn a blind eye to them, I do not leave them unnoticed. I do not see the point in dwelling on failures and, even more so, allowing them to shake my self-confidence. It hurts to make mistakes and fall, but if you constantly think about this unpleasant situation, it can have a devastating effect. It is essential to see everything as an opportunity for yourself and to draw motivation for development from failures.
Based on my recent failures, I have learned two lessons for myself. Firstly, it is essential to always adhere to higher standards. Based on my recent failures, I have learned two lessons for myself. It is essential to go beyond the expectations of others and approach tasks in a non-standard way. Our every day is the consequence of the previous elections. All we have now is the result of the decisions we make day in and day out. These decisions will determine the direction of our lives and whether our lives will be meaningful or a waste of time. In addition, the second lesson is that it is crucial to clarify information if I do not know how to complete a particular task. Moreover, if clarification is unavailable, I need to do everything possible that goes beyond the established standard.
Conclusion
Learning something new always goes through mistakes because this is a normal phenomenon. There are two possible outcomes: give up and give up, or gain experience and move on. I sincerely agree with General George S. Patton when he said, “I measure a person’s success not by how high he rises, but by how high he jumps when he reaches the bottom” (Daniel, 2020). Learn from mistakes, be honest and eat sweets!
