Dealing with mistakes and failures - Part 1
DEALING WITH MISTAKES AND FAILURES - PART 1
Mario D'Couto
As the old dictum goes, "Failures are stepping stones to success." All through our lives, we experience the so - called 'ups and downs'. It is alright and normal to experience it but what is important is to learn form it.
Mistakes have hidden powers to help us but they fail in their mission of helping us when we blame them on other people. When you use excuses, you give up your power to change and improve. So, "Never mind whom you praise but be careful whom you blame." You can fall down many times but you won't be a failure until you say that someone else pushed you.
Arthur Guiterman would say, "Admitting error clears the score and proves you wiser than before." Failures are experts at making excuses. You waste time and creative energy thinking up excuses.
The person who really wants to do something finds a way, the other finds an excuse as someone said, "When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe, that's when you will be successful." Success is a mater of luck - that's what losers say; don't buy that statement!
