Making mistakes is not wrong but is highly needed as a main ingredient in the entire success broth. Mistakes has been dreaded by all since time immemorial since no one want to be wrong.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but is more useful than a life spent doing nothing _ George Bernard Shaw

No one wants to fail and ultimately, no one wants to be used as scapegoat to deter others and whose experiences others will learn from.

Mistakes can basically be termed making a wrong judgement of someone or something or to understand someone or something incorrectly.

Growing up was fun and we all were made to failure and mistakes as a plague that must be avoided at all cost, little wonder for the perfectionist tendencies in most of us, the downside to that is we are yet to perfect anything and are even garnering more errors and mistakes along the line.

MAKING MISTAKES: THE UNKNOWN TRUTH

Inventions and innovations have always been the product of well south out, properly documented and monitored mistakes which are a deviation from how things should normally have been done. From the light bulbs to relativity theory, mistakes have always been the good villain.

The truth remains that no one is perfect and we are prone to fail and make mistakes which incredibly and undoubtedly, is the only way we get better.

Trying something new always in a positive direction may not always yield the desired result but indirectly you learn of a new way to proceed and get even better.

WHY MAKING MISTAKES SHOULD NOT SCARE YOU TO DEATH

The fear of failure is total turn off for most of us and little wonder we just want to stick to the easy way out, but let’s analyze why we really not ought not to be scared of failing and mistakes:

FEAR OF MAKING MISTAKES IS A MAJOR SETBACK

The fear of making mistakes is a major setback because it prevents you from trying out newer, better and greater things as if that is not enough, it will make sure you do not ever get out of your comfort zone and thus you keep getting this false of protection.

In this case, your comfort zone will actually be a curse and because you will assume that everything stops here and naturally you will feel so content.

Do not let fear hold you back and miss out on great things you can accomplish. Truth, is you will never get it right at first but how would you even know that if you don’t avail yourself to the opportunity of giving things a trial?

MISTAKES ARE FEEDBACK: LISTEN WELL

Like we earlier pointed out, making mistakes are actually an occurrence you can never rule out from any venture you want to undertake but the good part is that, if you can listen well, you will get the key to solving a lifelong puzzle.

As you already agree with me that mistakes are really giving you feedback from any activity you engaged in but failed, will you not also agree that they are telling you to try another approach, apply more or reduce your our effort or even try afresh from a new angle entirely.

It seriously does not get better than these my friend!

IT ACTUALLY SHOWS YOU ARE TRYING HARD

Do you know how the strongest and most experienced lion is determined in a pride from others? it always bear visible marks and scars that shows that it has been in battles and even got beaten but now its own a pride (group of lions; including other males with an alpha male as a leader).

Just the way scars are a testimony to the lions unending effort to conquer, your trying alone and probably making mistakes every time is also a reminder to the fact that you are really trying and soon the you will frolick in the snow of success.

Mistakes don’t just happen and you just don’t fail at anything, what I need you to take out from here is that, it shows that you are trying hard enough, it shows that you are putting considerable effort to progress ( it just might not be good enough!).

We cannot always get it right at first try but I tell you this day that you are miles better than a man who has refused to even try, because you will become wiser, better and more versed!

EXPERIENCE IS WHAT WE CALL MISTAKE

This must have crossed your mind before but you may not have been able to place it properly. I reiterate that experience is what we call mistake either in its positive or negative form.

For every setback, failure or disadvantage encountered as mistake, it is always good to know that you are adding more feathers of wisdom to your cap and lets be modest, it shows that you are growing wiser and becoming more experienced.

YOU SIMPLY WILL GET BETTER

The idea of trying to progress and meeting up or making mistakes is as a resultant of your simple resolve to get better and become the best.

No matter the kind of hindrances you encounter or face, you are only going to get better and better, you will also grow even wiser and this will reduce your chances of failing again in the nearest future to the nearest and bearable minimum.

CONCLUSION

Do not hold yourself back and do not panic just yet, keep moving and keep learning because a time will come that all your knowledge, experience and scars are just what is really needed for you to move to the next level.

Wait o...... I dey come

Simply put, mistakes are experiences whose destination, coupled with tenacity, is success.

Success is as a result of good experiences. And good experiences come from bad experiences. A lot of people have good ideas vested in them that, if only they could start, that would place them on the road to success. But their major constraint has been "Want if i make fail?" Thats the same thin as "What if i make a mistake"? This fear whould make them not make any move at all.

If only this fear could be oovercome, then we will have more successful people

Hmmmmm make a financial mistake in my workplace..

And its a final goodbye to your career

True. By making little mistakes here and there, validated learning takes place. Armed with empirical data, a killer innovation/product might just be on the way.

A very good message.

The inevitable vital lessons that accompany mistakes are the one reason why I love failure; I just love making mistakes: they only mean I've tried a few new things.

He who hasn't failed in anything has not tried anything new. So, increase your failure rate and increase your chances of success.

Mistakes are the bedrock of success. Keep trying. Keep making mistakes. Don't give up.

Mistakes are takes that where missed...take again you might get it right this time

Quite true

Sir, i never meant making mistakes on your job.
Its called a job because, one is believed to be a professional already and so any shortcoming might not be tolerated.

This post is for people who want things in life easy!

Thanks for your input sir.

Mistakes shouldn't be encouraged... We should all put in our best on whatever we do... When we err... Get up... learn... Do it well. #my2cents

I should have just asked you to write this article with me boss.

You broke it down way more better than me.

Thanks

The fear of making mistake is the gap between the rich and the poor. So, try news things, if it didn't work out add it to your experience in life. The main truth is people only want to see result/output and no one is interested in the process.

Some mistakes could ruin you forever and you may never recover from it...

i like that assertion.
early success made me to derail it took me years to come back to track. early success could be dangerous as well.

You did an excellent job. God will continue to bless all your efforts. A lot of us no longer believe that failure is a bad thing; we believe it's a huge part of our success.

Thank you.

Seriously I agree with your opening line.

I'm trying some new business ideas; it's being challenging and demanding. But I can bet you it's good to try new things. We've got to take some risks.

It's good

Thank you, dear. It's possible.

You all have no idea how much i tried to read the writeup but failed, so am passing

This is really a matured, educative and even a spiritual guide thread, just like Pastor Paul Eneche said one time that many people failed and some are still failing because they are being too careful and don't want to make mistakes.
