A friend of mine send me these positive word and photos, ten in total. Each photo came with a quotation which I find it very inspiring. I do not know where he got it, any way, I like the photo and positive word on the photo, and good thing need to be share, so I decided to share them here for the next ten Sunday on Point To Ponder with all of you with a little of my own personal insight.
How do you see mistake? Most people do not like to make mistake for the simply reason that mistake equal “wrong doing” and it’s “painful” most of the time.
How many mistakes do we make since birthday, personally I think it is countless, we just cannot count how any mistakes we have made. Do you remember your first fall when you were trying to hold on to anything when you are learning to walk? Oh the fall, it was painful, wasn’t it?
DO you remember the first time you jump into the warm water pail when you mum was preparing the water for you to take bath? It was painful, wasn’t it?
Do you remember your first fall when you were learning to ride a bicycle, not only falling, you also might be bleeding. It was painful, wasn’t it?
Do you remember your first date? You first job interview? It was terrible, wasn’t it when you think back. But wasn’t it because of all this painful experience that make you who you are today. Never be guilty of making mistakes, when we came out of this mistake determine who we will become. It took Thomas Edison ten thousand mistakes to perfect the light bulb, and one thousand fail approach to make Colonel Sandler KFC what it is today.
Years later, we all will all experience the wisdom of our own mistake which make who we are today. Life is risky but the one who make not mistakes, make no progress.

Learning from mistake is a painful process when you are young. It hurts. As you mature, learning from mistakes takes on a different dimension. It allows you to reflect on the problem instead of the self-esteem and self-confidence part. You tend to laugh about the mistake made, and realise that finally you see yourself as human. This relax mode makes you feel better and appreciate the mistakes more. With this type of attitude towards mistakes, you indirectly favour and learn from that very mistake.
