Why do we hate mistakes!!!

Hello my dear reader,

Today I like to discuss something that I know many would rather not discuss and that is mistakes.  As we all know that, when we make a mistake, mess up something bad style, we tend to feel… rather embarrassed, some of us even angry, or frustrated that we made a  wrong turn, a bad choice, a mis-calculation, which either made us look like a fool and will cost us both time and/or money?

Well, to be honest, I was in a similar situation not long ago, and reflecting back, it wasn’t that bad after all. The reason being that yes, you can learn from other’s mistakes, however to truly understand and learn from a mistake, as well as trying to not committing it again, we must actually have to experience it ourselves first hand.

So therefore, for those of us who have yet to reach the next step towards the red carpet of Internet Marketing Stardom Success,  just keep trying,  just keep making mistakes, and as like the Danish physicist and Nobel Prize Winner Neils Bohr famously said:

” An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.”

Therefore, everyone will become an expert of some sort, some day, we just need to commit and learn from all of the mistakes we will make. The only difference is how fast will be commit, learn and adapt from them? Will it be 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, a year? Or even a Year and a Half, like Alex, Maria and all the other internet marketing gurus and experts who are on the step above us?

So why do we hate mistakes? Well we don’t, it’s just that when we were little, as kids, our parents would tell us off and we would feel embarrassed in front of all of the other kids who were looking and giggling at us, and thus a possibility why we may have been temporarily mentally program and scarred to hate making mistakes.

But in fact, what we didn’t or may not have learnt or understand was that: when we were a little kid, our parents were simply offering us advice and helping us avoid committing the same act/mistakes again. The only thing they forgot to do was: teaching us how to learn and embrace mistakes, and how to to pick ourselves back up from it, but then again, it’s something I guess we have to learn as we mature and get older.

My question for all is: see if you can’t make a mistake today?
