A popular wise saying of our elders says "when a child falls he looks forward, but when an old man falls he looks back."Mistake!
What is a mistake? Mistake means committing an unintentional error.It is never intentional
Look, take time to ask questions from those who have made it in life, you will be surprised at the silly mistakes they've made in the past.
So, don't see yourself as a failure just because of that slight mistake. All you have to do is, cool down and act maturely.
The difference between the child and the old man is MATURITY, the child doesn't bother, infact If he falls there a 100time he won't look back, all his focus will be on his rough dress and perhaps the wound he sustained through the fall. And he will say " Oophs! again! Damn it! He's not concerned about what made him fall.
But the old man will look back, check very well what has caused him to fall, if it is removeable, he will remove it,and if not he will just say" ooo! So it's this small thing that caused me to fall" I assure you, unless the man is careless, he will never fall at the spot again. When he falls, he doesn't bother on his wounds or mess the fall has caused, he only goes back to know the cause of the fall.
How do you handle your mistakes?
Mistakes are part of life. Don't allow your mistakes to control you.
First to do in handling your mistakes is,you accept it is a mistake made by you, don't shift the blame on anyone. Accept the responsibility of the cause before digging to know the source of the mistake.
Second to do is, Learn from the mistake
Third, Don't repeat it again. I mean try as much as possible not to repeat the same mistake, hence it becomes an error.
Remember, no mistakes, no growth, no development, no outstanding success.
The real mistake is the one which you learn nothing.
