What Do You Describe as a Mistake?

To me, I term mistake as a wrong action, decision, or a judgment that brings regret later in life. It is something I really wish I could undo, but then time does not allow that luxury. Mistakes can truly be either small or big, but certainly the ones that shake me the most are those very ones that comes with painful lessons to life.

How Did you Make That Mistake That you Wouldn't Forget in a Hurry?

I still remember it so very much like it's yesterday. It was a unique day filled with much excitement, carelessness, and a little bit of foolishness. Though I had been preparing for something so important, a very special outing with my friends to our LGA capital Cultural Day. In my excitement then because I've only been hearing of it but not attended before, I somehow forgot to double-check my pocket before leaving the house. At this point I didn’t realize I had left my wallet behind at home 🏡 until I needed to pay the bikeman. Imagine the embarrassment I face, Ouh Gosh!

• To really make things worse, I had earlier boasted aloud that I would cover some expenses. The looks on my friends’ faces were so unforgettable at this point. I really felt like disappearing into thin air because of the shame. I had to beg and even borrow just to help save myself from this complete humiliation. That very day, I realized how a small act of our carelessness could lead to a huge mess in life.

Did you Learn Anything from the Mistake?

Ouh Yes! I did and that very experience since taught me a valuable lesson about preparation and responsibility. Since then henceforth, I always double-check my pocket, bags and wallets before leaving home. I also do well to learned never to overpromise, especially when I am not 100% sure I can deliver it. The embarrassment was really tough, but then I'll say the lesson was worth it.

Do you Think Mistakes Are a Must in Every Human Life?

Absolutely! Of course no one is actually perfect. Mistakes are definitely part and parcel in learning and growth. If I never made that mistakes, I wouldn’t know how well to do things better. So every mistake, no matter how painful it may be, carries a lesson that always helps to shape our future. The key 🔐 here is not to keep repeating the same mistake again. Once I learn, I adjust and move forward for better advantage.

Conclusion

That very day remains always fresh in my memory, though I'll say not because I enjoy recalling the embarrassment I had, but because of the valuable lesson it really taught me and how insane it was. Mistakes may be painful and probably hits 🎯 and leaves a lifetime holes, but they help us grow more wiser. I did learned more to be always careful, to plan more better, and to always have a good backup plan. "Life is really a journey of learning, and sometimes, those best lessons come from the most unexpected moments we had".

I invite @edu-chemist, @spektro223 and @kidi40 to all share too with us that moment not to be forgotten in a hurry.
