Hii friends, I am
just pondering about what to write from past few days , few topics
came to my mind like art of appreciation , art of accepting mistakes
etc. I felt it is important to write on accepting mistakes learning
from mistakes and going a head in life because in recent times have
seen many people who when committed any mistake don't accept and
few, they accept but be so depressed and spoil their future. Thought
of just throwing some light on this topic.
As a human being, we
all make mistakes. It is quite normal. But now a days instead of
accepting mistake we try to argue and Justify.
Unfortunately, it is
our natural instinct to try to justify our actions. When you make a
mistake, the initial reaction is to blame someone else.
“Yes,
I drove my car into the wall, but it was all my partners fault for
distracting me with her gossiping…”
“
we could not
complete the project in given time because they were not sincere in
their efforts”
These
type of statements we often hear in our daily life now a days
When mistakes are
made, the boss is unlikely to be interested in justifications. We
justify mistakes for the sake of our ego. Sometimes it is best to
say, very simply — yes, I made a mistake instead of arguing.
Apologize with Dignity
If
you’ve made mistakes that harm other people, it is important to
offer a dignified apology. Be clear that it was an unfortunate
incident that will not be repeated. A good apology can go along way
to restoring trust.
If
you don’t apologize, out of embarrassment or unwillingness, the
offended person will hold it against you. If your apology is sincere,
the other person is likely to forgive you.
It
is more effective to apologize in person, rather than through email.
However, once you have apologized, it is mistake to repeatedly say
sorry for the same mistake. Some people keep apologizing over and
over again. This becomes irritating. It is better to sincerely
apologize once and then move on.
Generally the
biggest mistake what people do is passing on the mistake or blaming
others' for their mistakes. Don't show a finger on others, if
you can do something to stop or reduce do it, otherwise don't comment
at all.
Understand Why The Mistake Occurred
Mistakes
occur for various reasons. To avoid repeating them, you need to
understand the underlying reason.
For
example, you may have spoken in anger and haste; the mistake here is
to say unkind words. However, what led you to be angry in the first
place? Try to find out the reason and try not to repeat.
If
u feel that you have not done any mistake and u were made the
culprit. Don't worry. Don't think
much about past mistakes. Never use the story of your past as an
excuse to reiterate the same outcomes as have always been , never
nurture the habit of carrying your story with you all through your
life. Never let any negative outcome of any past action get deep
rooted in your memory.
Sometimes we make
mistakes with our behavior. Considering about that mistake later on,
we realize that we should have not to do it. But as i said we are all
human being and we cannot help ourselves with making mistakes. When
we make mistakes, we feel sad and we regret. There is only one way to
beat it which is fix them.
Avoid Repeating Mistakes
You
should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes, but at the same
time, you should make a resolution to learn from them. If you repeat
the same mistakes, it shows you aren’t making progress and causes
repeated suffering.
Mistakes are Opportunities to Learn
From
your own mistakes you can gain wisdom and accelerate
self-improvement. Mistakes, because of their relationship with risk
taking, are essential to success. The important thing is to view
mistakes as a useful stepping stone to a higher reality and better
outlook on life.
One
thing to remember, you should look on the bright side.
You might think that there is no good thing in making mistakes. But ,
there is. When you make mistakes, you get closer to the success.
Dealing with difficulties makes us more ambitious and strong. Also
learning lesson form mistakes is the biggest assistant to reach the
success. Because, if you know your mistake, you would not repeat them
in the future.
So in short what
I would like to say is accept the mistake with dignity,don't pass on
the mistake on others, try to find out the reason, analyze, learn and
try not to repeat.
Keep smiling
guys...
