i mAdE a mIStaKe



Last week, I found very common, interesting and serious issue of entire human race, mistakes!!! I closely observed people regretting on their own judgments, choices and decisions. They have created painful situation by thinking that they made wrong choice about course, about person, about cloths and many other such things. A question was raised, WHAT IS MISTAKE? Asking same question on various people I got many responses, somewhere philosophical, somewhere emotional while some where funny. I am not disclosing those responses here but trying dissever idea of mistake.

Mistakes, things which do every day, every time and think mistake is normal thing. Mistakes are not natural; it is created by society (not even by humans). Humans are creations of nature and nature is errorless. The story of mistakes and errors starts from the day humans became social being. They created civilizations. So the idea or mistakes are born with civilizations where every step of action (or behavior) is scripted.

In every civilization or culture, there are certain norms which binds person to act in accordance with it. Decisions taken by person are heavily affected by his/her choice and that choice is always based on cultural baggage carried up by that person. If individual acts according to ‘script’ of culture, it is considered as right choice and if he/she fails, it is considered as ‘miss take’. Thus, that person who says that we do mistake because we are humans is wrong. Mistakes are culturally constructed and it should not be understood as natural phenomenon.

Quickly and briefly, I would like to share things I have learned about mistakes.
  • Mistakes are not natural
  • If you feel that you committed mistake, think twice (or even 1000 times), what made to choose that path?
  • Mistakes is chance to improvise it’s not punishment
  • Don’t ever feel guilt about your wrong decision, remember you made that decision and try to recall reason that made you to take particular decision.
  • Before taking decisions think for the possibilities of mistakes, not after that
  • Nothing is wrong, till you believe it is wrong; strive to justify your decision.
  • Don’t waste your time and energy on lamenting, be strong and move on
  • Share your mistakes; it’ll help you and other to learn right things.
  • Be aware about your own choice, choose what you like not what others says
  • Laugh at your own mistakes, it’s better to laugh on self than to laugh on others
  • Mistakes are not failures
  • Commit variety of mistakes, never repeat same mistake
  • Be creative to find good things from mistake
