I Enjoy Meaningful Conversations

I'd like to appreciate you all for sharing your experiences or thoughts here on SW. Just seeing what you post makes me know I'm not alone. I think just like you have been writing how you've felt or what may have happened in your life, i need to write about something as well. I'll start with a perspective of something I'd like to talk a little about, based on my observations. Today, i realized something that I've maybe been ignoring or haven't bothered to think of it properly. It has to do with accepting that we are not perfect. Now, that sentence or group of words, has a certain perspective that if we look at it properly, i think we can learn and become better in what we do. I'm not sure i actually accepted and applied the idea of not been perfect to my life. Not been perfect is not a bad thing. In my view, for an individual to successfully tackle different problems, he or she must be patient with himself. He must accept the fact that we could make a mistake or not get it right while trying to achieve our dreams and hopes. And it is important that we do not misinterpret we could make mistakes for an idea that it's ok to make a mistake. Because it is not ok at all. I mentioned that statement because, there are possibilities that we may not get it right when were trying to achieve something. This is were we may have made a mistake' is related to. I feel that a person who wants to succeed in different fields or wants to learn something new, must be ready to try first, and try with an open mind of not beating yourself up if you make a mistake or you don't get it right, but rather, learn to get it right and see the fun in learning something that is productive and that makes you a better person. :) Feel free to express your thoughts based on what i talked about. It could be based on your experience or something that happened from which you learnt to apply a better method :)
Well Roy, your observations seem correct. We do all seem to make mistakes from time to time. I agree we should try not to make mistakes, but not let our mistakes crush us when they happen. Owning up to them and not trying to hide them is also important.

Failing, or making a mistake, and getting up and trying again is one of mankind’s greatest learning tools. But then, mistakes cannot be learned from if we hide from our mistakes; if we pretend they never happened.
Mistakes can be painful, but the value of lessons learned are well worth the pain in the long run.

Something else I’ve noticed is that, if you are willing and watchful, you can learn from other person’s mistakes as well as your own. The lessons can be just as valuable with a lot less painful attachment to the mistake.

Lol. Thanks. But, i have to be honest, i'm uncomfortable with 'learning from other people's mistake'. It makes me feel like i should wait for someone to make a mistake to learn from their mistake? I don't know, but maybe I prefer just learning from anything that's meaningful to our lives. I think that's better in my understanding. I appreciate your point of view generally. And you pointed out a part I needed to realise, which is to own up to our mistakes and not hide them. I believe after we own up to them, we most importantly must learn to do the right thing in any situation we find ourselves.
As far as being alone?

No way, , , there’s too many of us on this big blue/green marble.

We just need to learn to get along; right?
😉
