Very good post.. I was one that used to get in defense mode right away when I even only thought someone was pointing out a mistake or a wrong choice I had made.. But I have learned that it's not bad to make mistakes, but I try to be aware of the fact that I made them, so in the future it turned out to be a life lesson.
My best example for mistakes being a good thing is when I was having classes for my drivers licence .. Every week (10 weeks in a row) I made more mistakes than allowes to pass my exams.. Sometimes I even had 15 wrong answers.. I thought I could never in a million years pass .. But yet I did with only 4 mistakes.. Why? Because every single wrong answer in the classes I remembered, and I was not to be fooled again.. If I hadn't make these, I may have had many answers correct by just a simple gamble.. Now I knew what why something was the correct answer and I never forgot those..
Nowadays I can admit doing something wrong, think about it and try to turn it into somethinf positive.. Not always easy, though.. Sometimes it takes a while, but being aware of things is a very good start ..
Thanks for this post!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and i agree, it does take a lot of courage to do that. If somehow we can muster that up in the beginning then it would be very fruitful in coming future
