Wishing all the admins, moderators, and all of my travel-loving friends in the community of ''Steem For Lifestyle'', are well by the grace of Allah. I would like to thank our honorable madam @okere-blessing for announcing this innovative "Contest Alert: That big mistake that I wouldn't forget in a hurry" and giving a golden opportunity to all Steemians to share the writing creativity here.

A mistake is something that happens when a person does something wrong or error or incorrect done accidentally. This happens because of their less knowledge or misunderstanding at that moment. Mistake is a natural part of our lives and we all human beings make them. Mistakes can happen anywhere in any circumstance like home, office, school, relationship, and anywhere. Sometimes mistakes can be small and not harmful to anyone on the other hand bigger mistakes can have serious consequences such as making wrong decisions which can affect ourselves and also

affect others. Mistakes can happen for various reasons one of them is lack of knowledge. When we do not know enough about something and make any decision based on less knowledge it can be surely a mistake. Another reason for mistakes is a lack of attention. When we are not paying attention to what the other person is saying or doing or suggesting this can lead us to make mistakes easily. Distraction surely can lead us to make mistakes. Misunderstanding is a major cause of making mistakes in our lives. When we do not understand other mindset or their inner feeling and are under a misconception, we believe that what we think is correct this situation leads us to the way of mistakes. In our lives by small mistakes, we can

recover but because of big mistakes we can’t recover them throughout our lives, and for this, we can suffer a lot. Learning from mistakes is very important for us and this will help us to improve ourselves and also grow us innerly. By mistake, we learn some life lessons which we can’t compare to the knowledge that we getting from others. No one is perfect on this earth and every person learns from their mistake. So we should always be conscious of our every step in life and if accidentally mistaken we should learn and try not to repeat this mistake in our entire lives.

I still can remember that horrible situation in my life. That day I had a meeting with my foreign in our factory. From our head office, we have to move to our factory which is a distance of two hours. This meeting was held us with a short notice. We have to make all preparations for that meeting in a hurry. I was given the responsibility to make a presentation about our product. Though I got only a few hours to make this presentation and Alhamdulliah I was successful. It was quite late when I finished work and came home. Our meeting was at 10 am so we had to leave our head office at 7:30 am and according to the plan I reached my office at 7 am. After reaching there we team quickly did a call-up to remind our individual jobs and left the office to attend to the foreign clients. My main presentation was kept on my laptop and I gave our office peon my laptop bag to put it in the car unfortunately, he forgot it after half an hour he called me and told me he forgot to put the laptop in the car. I was exhausted to hear this mistake and I truly believed in his job because he is very responsible and never made any kind of mistake earlier. I just come down

myself and think about how to solve this panic situation. I always have a habit of making new presentations or any topic until the work gets done I put it into my pen drive. That day my habit saved my life and also my company’s reputation. My this habit came as a life saver for me that day. At the time of the presentation, I took my colleague's laptop put the pen driver, and successfully represented it to my clients. After finishing our meeting our honorable Managing Director appreciated my work and how I managed this situation. This is a great achievement for me. Through this situation I realized that it wasn’t that peon’s mistake it was mine that I should take proper care of my own things and before leaving the office premises I had to recheck again my necessities.

Yes from the mistakes I learned two major life lessons from here. Maybe it is my Almighty who wants to give me a lesson through my mistake so that I won’t get into any bigger trouble in my future life. The first lesson I learned was that I should not complete based on someone else’s job. From that day I never based on someone’s information or told until I rechecked the facts for my own satisfaction. Before going somewhere I personally must recheck things on the checklist that I should carry at that specific time.
Another lesson I learned from there life is so unpredictable we really don’t know what situation is waiting for us next. So we should prepare ourselves for every situation. Life can be made something

messy or unexpected but we have to face those situations with a calm mind and a lot of patience. Being restless or nervous situation could be worse for us and may not focus on our main purpose.
The last lesson I learned from this experience is we must have second options in our lives. Things can be changed as we expect so to tackle that situation we must move with our second opinion. If I had not my laptop’s presentation at that time the meeting could have been canceled or ruined but my pen drive sources saved me as a second backup. So doing something I always have a second plan in my mind.

Every person no matter how careful or experienced or knowledgeable he is at some point in life must make mistakes. Mistakes can happen in different ways like in small daily activities, learning new skills, making decisions, or interacting with others which we really can’t control. Mistakes remind people that they are not perfect and it is a human habit of making mistakes.
Yes, I do believe that mistakes help every human being to learn and improve themselves. When someone makes a mistake that situation gives a chance to understand what went wrong and how to improve it and do it better for the next time. Without mistakes, we might not gain any experience to be a better person in life.
Making mistakes also helps us to build resilience. When we fail or make an error we feel depressed, failed and also disappointed, but we overcome those mistakes and make ourselves stronger than before. This teaches us how to handle mistakes by being confident. Life is not a planning tour it gives us many unsettled things, risks, and uncomfortable circumstances to make mistakes and from the mistakes, we can learn and prove ourselves.

Mistakes also help us to improve our personal growth. By doing we introduce my weakness and those sides of us which we need to improve. It gives a glimpse of our faults and our weaknesses which we need to do personal development. It improves our critical thinking skills, patience, and also creativity. It also introduces us to the strongest part that we have in us. Mistakes encourage us to explore different solutions, learn from our unexpected experiences, and become better at handling difficulties in our lives.

For recognizing mistakes it is important for us and learn from them. Without learning from mistakes making the same repeatedly, it can cause various problems in our lives. The core lessons are to accept our mistakes, understand what went wrong with us, and try to avoid making the same error again in our lives. A positive attitude towards mistakes is always can turn us into valuable lessons rather than failures in our lives.

To conclude we say that mistakes cannot be avoided completely from our lives. Mistakes are necessary for our learning, growth, and also for our self-improvement. Instead of being afraid of making mistakes, it is better to embrace them and recognize them as a part of our life along with them moving to our beautiful life journey. Among us who understand the value of mistakes can use ourselves as stepping gradually stones to success. Mistakes are not the end of the road that we passing, they are simply lessons that guide us toward a better future.
