Mistakes

[Artimas]

Mistakes are not failure, but simply shortcuts to advancement. If you choose to learn from them.

Failure is through not trying or giving up, perhaps not finishing. But is not having enough time to finish failure, well I would say no because they didn’t not finish because they wanted to not finish, but because they could not finish.

Mistakes are trial and error in a sense. We can learn from our own mistakes through our own experiences, or learn from past or other mistakes and experiences, this is the power of the mind, to be able to imagine. This is why history is important, to learn the mistakes so that we may not repeat them again.

What do you think?

I agree completely.

Furthermore, we can learn from the mistakes of others, and let others learn from our mistakes.

We’re born in ignorance and it’s expected that we’re gonna mess up, but truth doesn’t die, and through mistakes, we get closer to that truth - or refine it further.

Making mistakes can often be painful, and putting oneself in a position susceptible to adversity / pain, is a brave act.

A quote from an old post I made:

@Ben

[i]I’m hurting, but expect myself to be consistent for those around me. I must set by example.

I question what more I can do, embrace their cruelty? Turn the other cheek?

Do I do it because I think I’ll earn their love?

Can I make them love me? Can I make them love themselves?

Is my worth not only what others attribute to me, but what I attribute to myself?

Will I path my life with self love and respect?

Does one not need to cater to one’s self as one would cater to another for love?[/i]

I already love. I grow and expose my fresh skin to be cut. If it can’t be cut, then let it be shared. I do the only thing I can do. No pride or regret is necessary. These can be cut away, whilst one still continues. Let them be shed.

If one’s cut hurts, let it be known, this should be kept. If one dies due to the cut, let it be known, this death was love.

One then repairs, only to expose oneself again.

If one is fueled by others, one grows privately. If one is fueled by self, one grows publicly.

Most of the time mistakes are painful. I had made mistakes before (Who doesn’t?), they were nothing but painful. I learned from them though, I was forced to learn from them. If I had not I would be comfortable without pain that I had to endure, this is how you can prove life is not all about comforts and pleasure, because only through pain and mistakes do we learn and travel further, further towards truth. You are right, also that is a good quote.

Why I have a quote in my signature, well not really a quote but something i’ve said a long time. I am sure it has been concluded a long ago by tons of others, regardless of my saying it. “Truth is pain, pain is gain.”
