Learning From Mistakes

Mistakes, everybody is doing their best to avoid that word, its like we want everything to be perfect, in fact i was thinking really hard to make sure that i wont make a mistake when i wrote this post. All of us will give our 110 % effort in life to avoid mistakes but sometimes no matter how hard we try, still we made mistakes it feels like we're never gonna get it right. We call ourselves stupid because of our mistakes. Wait! That's wrong! Mistakes doesn't make us stupid, it makes us human. As humans it is understandable that we make mistakes. Mistakes are bad, yeah we got that, no matter what, we know that mistakes are bad, but mistake will remain bad if we do nothing about it. These mistakes will become something good if we learn from it. When we made a mistake is easy to feel depressed, stupid, and useless then it it puts us down. We shouldn't let that mistake become a weigh that is pressing us down but we need to transform that mistake to become a spring or a stepping stone that will
bring us up to another level, to do that we need to learn from our mistakes. Most people are clever because they learn from their mistakes and do it right the next time, while most people are foolish/stupid because they never learn from their mistakes, and carelessly choose to do it again and again. You see to be clever or stupid is our choices, you have to choose either one, if you decide not to choose any of them, it means that you choose not to learn from your mistakes and we know what that makes you. So, the next time you make mistake, don't feel down right away, just think about what you did and what can you learn from it, then you do it right next time. Don't forget we're just people, and people make mistakes, smart people learn from it and do it right next time, while stupid people. . .oh well we know what they do.

Following Instructions

In life there is a sets or steps of instructions that we should follow in order to complete our tasks, jobs, or goals. We've been instructed a lot of times to follow those steps of instructions carefully, but while doing so, sometimes we get distracted by our surroundings.

These distraction cause us to miss one steps or even more, and yet we kept on going, ignoring those steps that we miss. Then someone came and asked,

"why didn't you follow the instructions?" or "why did you skip that step?" We would usually reply with, "ow yeah ah that's ok, i got this, don't worry it's my thing, so it's all good." Little that we know those missing steps are slowly or maybe rapidly affecting our work progress. In the end it may costs us our jobs, our family, our relationship, our feeling, or even our life.

We didn't like to follow instructions because they're just boring, or in our expression we would say, "Instructions are for dummies", but guess what? even a great soldier follow the Commander's Instruction. There's always an instruction for everything that we do in life, instructions for cooking, driving, doing sport, cleaning, building, even for pilots there are instructions for Take Off, Flying, and Landing the plane, notice that these instructions were actually made for our own safety.

It doesn't really matter if you can do something better, faster, or nicer, as long as you do it right by the instructions, everything will go smooth and safe(your safety). So let's start following instructions carefully and don't worry if you miss a step, just go back and do it again. Well if you don't wanna do it again or start over, in that case, let's be really focus in following instructions, don't let ANYTHING distract us.
