Mistakes: steps to success

"If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying."

These famous words of Coleman Hawkings emphasize the importance of mistakes in learning process which starts at birth and continues as long as we meet our ultimate destination.
In this document I shall be talking about
a) Common treatment of mistakes
b) How mistakes should be viewed.

Most of us welcome mistakes with feelings of disregard. These mistakes can be made by others or can be our own. While commenting on other’s mistakes people very often forget that their remarks may dishearten the person concern. We generally ignore the fact that mistakes are starting steps of ladder of learning. An inappropriate response to a mistake may break the ladder of learning.

As mentioned earlier we should always accept mistakes in a positive manner as these are building blocks of road to knowledge, success i.e. learning. Every mistake clears a wrong way of proceeding from the various ways of doing something and probability of finding right way increases. Mistakes never mean that we should give up trying. They mean that we need to be a bit more passionate for achieving goal.

To sum up the discussion, mistakes are not there to make us quit our pursuits but to strengthen the foundation of our palace of success. Had Edison stopped experimenting because of mistakes he made in previous ones, we would never have enjoyed chilling air conditioning in blazing hot summer of Noida.

India Bangladesh WC match...

Hello everyone,
I think most of us spent a sleepless night watching India fighting with Bangladesh. I was very disappointed with the way Indian batsmen batted. "Our batsmen were over cautious" says Kiran More but were they really over cautious?? Look the way Sehwag got out. He never shown even a bit of sincere batting forget out over cautious one. Even the bowlers were looking out of touch.

People are saying that this was not our day. I say days belong to them who work hard and make it their.
