Mistakes can be Progress, if....

Everyone makes mistakes at one point or the other in their lives. This is the inevitable, a fact. After all, like what is said, "TO ERR IS HUMAN". When we do make mistakes, we are concerned and sometimes worried of the wrong that we have done. We may feel sad, sometimes we regret. For many people, mistakes come and go, it’s a daily occurrence they couldn’t be bothered about especially when the mistakes are small ones. But when mistakes are big mistakes, people tend to be more conscious not to repeat their mistakes again.
Mistakes can come at any moment in our lives. Sometimes it just happened; sometimes it is through our very own carelessness. No matter what the mistake is, it is a mistake and we cannot let it occur again. This is the rule of thumb but how many of us take heed of our mistakes. For those who do, they are blessed for they are the ones who will progress faster in what they do.
Mistakes can be fatal too. In the workplace, a stupid mistake can cause a dear life to be lost. Injuries in the workplace where hazards are aplenty, mistakes are not uncommon. Workers learn not to make mistakes through proper training administered by their management.
At one point in my life many years ago, I was afraid of making mistakes. I didn't want to get into an embarrassment of apologizing for my mistakes. Then I began to realize that mistakes are an essential part of self improvement. From then on, it was no turning back. I took that opportunity upon myself to understand what is meant by apologizing with dignity for the mistakes I made and I also realized that it would be futile and a waste of time trying to justify mistakes. But most importantly, I found a way to avoid repeating mistakes. I told myself that we are all not perfectionists as human beings. I also told myself that acceptance of one’s mistakes is acknowledgment of one’s weakness from which a strength is gained. That realization of a strength gained is a catalyst to spur us on with doing things right. That as we all know is progress.



PoRkY pOrKy
I am thinking hard, real hard, whether it would be a mistake to include the following clip in my blog. It's so hilarious...this poky, poky thing...whoever made this video... I stumbled across it actually....no offense to anyone!



President George Bush's biggest mistake was to invade Iraq because he thought the late Saddam Husein had stockpiles of WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) in the Iraqi deserts, there were none. The following clip recorded his other smaller mistakes but because he was then President, people saw these as big mistakes.
