Mistakes

in #ecency4 years ago

The only way not to make mistakes is to do nothing and that, in itself, would be the ultimate mistake. We learn by doing, by making mistakes. In order for you to profit from your mistakes, you have to make some.

Mistakes are lessons of wisdom, they are portals of discovery. Mistakes show us what needs improving. Without mistakes, how would we know what works and what doesn’t. Learn from our mistakes. That’s where our experience comes from, and the easiest way to gain experience is to make some mistakes. They will be our wealth of experiences.

However, that doesn’t mean you can be reckless and attempt all sorts of things. That would not only be a mistake, it is also stupidity. Think, consider, weigh the pros and cons. Then proceed with caution. If it was a mistake, learn from it and it will become an experience – your experience.

We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. - Samuel Smiles

Learn from the mistakes of others – you can never live long enough to make them all yourself. - John Luther

Making mistakes simply means you are learning faster. - Weston H. Agor

Everyone makes mistakes. The wise are not people who never make mistakes, but those who forgive themselves and learn from their mistakes. - Ajahn Brahm

The test is to recognize the mistake, admit it and correct it. To have tried to do something and failed is vastly better than to have tried to do nothing and succeeded. - Dale Turner

Sort:  

When I was growing up, I was told over and over again by both my parents, "When you things, do it right the first time" and so therefore when you made mistakes, you know you've done your best, and that mistakes are okay. "Learn from it."

You were well brought up. 😊

Yay! 🤗

Thank you. 🙏

Sir Vincent! Oh if that quote saying that there are no mistakes was true! lol. I also like the first quote and the author's name: Samuel Smiles. what a name!

Hey are you just posting twice a week now? Let me guess why...your social life is so jammed packed you don't have time to post everyday right?

Samuel Smiles was a Scottish author and government reformer. A very unique name indeed. 😊

I am still posting everyday. You should look for my posts under the 'Posts' tab - not the 'Blog' tab. Sometimes, I post on Ecency, sometimes on other communities. But regardless of where I post, they will all show up under the 'Posts' tab.

Oh, I didn't realize that about the posts tab and your posts. I just figured you got discouraged, burned out or lazy. lol. thanks for the tip. So you are saying that you are still addicted to Hive even though it ain't done squat to make you rich? lol.

I don't think I am addicted. Being busy on Hive and Steem give me something to do. And it helps to brush up English, plus I get to learn new things I did research of. The money is a bonus. Maybe one day it will be worth something. Who knows. 😊

Have you withdrawn any money from you account?

I understand sir Vincent, I can see you working at this and it not being an addiction. But just to make sure you should take a couple of weeks off and prove to yourself that you ain't addicted. lol. I powered my steem down and converted it to bitcoin and used that to buy another little known crypto and to put the rest into an investment site which just went out of business lol.

I don't even know how to get any Hive out and cash in with it, do you?

What! And miss out on making a couple of cents a day. No way! 😎

How many bitcoins do you have now? You must be one of those bitcoin billionaires! Sorry to hear that you picked a loser.

I was on the verge of asking you if you know how to withdraw cash from Hive. lol Seems like not many do. It looks like they are looking to be invested long term. But I don't have much time left, and I would like to know how to be able to withdraw some cash from Hive. So, if you work out how it can be done, do let me know. 😊

Howdy on this fine Tuesday night sir Vincent! I don't have a single bit of bitcoin now since that big site went down. I'll ask around and see if anyone knows how to cash out. On Steemit it was pretty easy but when I looked in my Hive wallet it didn't look like they even had an option like that.
Okay, if you're not willing to miss out on making a couple cents a day I know you're addicted! lol.
