MISTAKES:FRIENDS IN DISGUISE.

We live in a world where we want to live/and are expected to live as a perfectionist,Your dad slaps you because you threw water on the floor,your mum beats you because you burnt the soup,you were sacked because your innovation cost the company a great loss.And because of your experiences,you prefer to maintain the 'status quo' than do a new thing. You see mistakes as enemies and before they even get to your domain,you flee, thinking you will fail again.And since the world dont give room for mistakes,we make up our mind to live a "pretentious life".I call it "pretentious" because your real self wishes to try something new but your environment says 'Dont'. The truth is,mistakes and failures are not our enemies but friends.They stylishly teach us a better method of how to do what we want to do.They are bridges and not barricades to sucess.They give us clues on how to carry out our assignments.But the moment we see them as enemies,we remain stagnated in life. Most of the sucessful people we crave to be like today,missed it at one point or the other in their lives.They didnt see mistakes or failures as enemies,but as stepping stones to higher grounds.When Thomas Edison was advised to quit for failing 1000 times in his attempt to make an electric bulb,He told them "I havent failed 1000times,i have learnt 999 times it wont work out.You know what that means,he told them he didnt see failure or mistake as enemies but disguised friends and confidants who have taught him other methods of doing it.So he cant give up. The same story was applicable to Ben Carson,the first Neuro-Surgeon in the world. Robert Kiyosaki says "A mistake is a signal that it is time to learn something new,something you didnt know before"He also said "You will make some mistakes ,those mistakes will become wisdom and wisdom is essential to become wealth."If you want to be perfect in doing everything,Be ready to do nothing." There are some ideas running through your mind,but because you have seen failure as an enemy,you didnt make a trial,and you wonder why you havent succeeded."If you are afraid of failure,you dont deserve to be successful"Charles Brinkley asserts.Change your mindset today,Failure is a part of sucess,people who avoid failure,also avoid sucess. Sucesss.If you can change your attitude towards failure/mistake,success will not continue to knock,but will come in.SEE YOU AT THE TOP.
