Mistakes are My Birthright; I will Keep Making Them

Image
“While one person hesitates because he feels inferior The other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.” Henry C. Link I had once jokingly posted on Facebook, “I try so hard. Still I commit a mistake. What the hell? Why am I so human?” A student of mine posted a good reply, “Since we are humans we can commit a mistake and get away. God doesn't have the scope to commit mistakes. One mistake from his side and it all ends. Thank god we are humans.” So very true, the luxury of making mistakes is only available to human beings.

“The choice is yours, With a bad attitude, you can never have a good day, With a good attitude, you can never have a bad day.” Attitude is more important than aptitude to reach altitude. Heated gold becomes ornaments. beaten copper becomes wires, depleted stone becomes statue, so the more pain you get in your life the more valuable you become, provided you take it with the right attitude.. The major attitudes include attitude towards people, relationships, learning, new ideas, religions and God. “You can complain that roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.” Ziggy One of the best role models in terms of attitude are military people. They learn to enjoy every day of life as they are forever prepared for war and have realised it might be the last day of life. Why are human beings so foolish, why do we need fear of war to act wise? A friend of mine met with a serious accident in Mauritius and had a close shave with death. Immediately after...
