How To Use Mistakes For Your Success?

In work and in life you can learn in 2 ways: in the simple or in the complex way. The easy way is to learn from other people’s mistakes, the difficult way is to learn from your own mistakes. But there is also a 3rd way – not to learn at all.

However, we learn more from failures, which are often based on our own mistakes. Sometimes you have to fail hard for something to change for the better. It’s obvious that you can’t learn much from success, that would be too easy. Mistakes keep us grounded. Mistakes upset us and make us understand that we need to regain focus and change our approach. At this point, it is extremely important to realize and even write down: “What I tried to do DOESN’T WORK” and move on.

Every time you see someone do something perfectly, it’s because this person has done it imperfectly or failed hundreds of times before. Many people underestimate the results of their actions or mistakes made – their Ego is so big that they consider themselves the smartest, despite the fact that they themselves can fail at something simple. But it would be better if we would embrace the mistake and move on – if people thought more about the future than the result of the mistake they just made. Nor would it be a bad thing if people took the time to analyze their past mistakes – what has led them to where they are now? Because the present is the result of past actions and the choices we have made.
