Learning From Mistakes….. !!

“It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.”

Don’t worry about making mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. Why should you be different? The person who never made a mistake, never made anything. Mistakes can be costly. They can also be educational. Look upon your mistakes as an asset. Life is a learning process. Learn from your mistakes. Profit from them and you will not only make more money, you will also become a better person. You must face the fact that from time to time makes the odd mistake. As long as they are not life threatening, pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get on with your life. Just remember to not make the same mistake twice. As I said before, “Learn from your mistakes.” Better still; learn from other people’s mistakes.

There are people out there who have become millionaires working in different fields and business ventures. Do you think they never made mistakes? They are only too willing to admit to their mistakes and to explain how they resolved them. If you want to get to the top, and I presume that you do, study those who have already made it to the top. Study the way that they did it. Copy the methods of successful people. They will not be too proud to explain the problems they encountered on the way. Problems that you will surely meet as you progress and gain experience.

Disregard the ‘overnight gurus’ trying to sell you the latest get rich scheme. If you listen to them you will be making the biggest mistake of all.

The old adage’ Learn to walk before you try to run.’ Holds good in any type of business venture or in our career. Good advice is there for the taking. Don’t disregard it just because it is free. Some of the very best things in life are free.

Just make sure that you take full advantage of them.

Relax, nothing is so bad that it can’t be fixed.

Here’s to your great success.

About Motivational Thoughts And Self Motivation

Motivational thoughts help you take action. I’m not talking about positive thinking or repeating motivating quotes. These have their place in shaping your attitude and thinking, but what motivates each of us is unique. You need to have your own thoughts – those which are most effective at getting you going.

“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity” – Albert Einstein

The above quote is a good one, and it may well help you look at the positive side of a situation, but what if it just doesn’t get you excited? In that case, you need to apply a little brainpower and make the idea your own. You need to make it a truly motivational thought for YOU.

Your Own Motivational Thoughts

What does “making it your own” mean? It means experimenting with a good thought until you find a way to use it in your own recipe for motivation. For example, suppose you are in a difficult situation and you just don’t feel like dealing with it. Then you play around with the idea of opportunity coming from difficulty, and you discover that it pulls you out of your slump to think about yourself in the future, explaining to a friend how you turned the difficult situation to your advantage.

That is making it your own motivational thought. Of course, it might be more motivating to imagine yourself being interviewed someday about how you overcame this difficult time. Whatever kind of thinking works for you is what you should be doing like sometimes self motivation works….!!

Self Motivation

Experiment and see what works. For myself, I find that more than just thinking a thought, if I explain it to someone, I get excited. This is my own recipe. If I feel unmotivated about the approach for a work, for example, all I have to do is explain an idea I have for the work to my Mother. By the time I have done that, I am very motivated to work.

Get creative in your motivational experiments. If thinking about being poor makes you get up and get to work, then that is a great motivational thought. If a visual thought is more motivating than a mental conversation, then use that. See a picture in your head that gets you going. If when people say you can’t do something, you do whatever it takes to prove them wrong, then think about them saying you can’t.

If you have a truly uninspiring task you have to do, try promising yourself some reward for completion that means something to you. Hold that thought in your mind to keep you motivated. A bowl of ice cream or a trip to the beach may be more powerful motivational thoughts than any famous quotes.

Stones of Life !

“There is nothing permanent except change.”

Recently , I had went through a elbow injury and had stayed back home for medical reasons, and was thinking as to why I have been haunted with several problems over the years and every time there is some change in life with these problems. And when I questioned someone close to me who is a guide and a philosopher that why life through so many problems jut into my teen my father demised and since then I have been facing problems one after another, listening to all I said he gave he gave me a stone and asked me have you ever seen or found a river stone that was perfectly smooth? Did the stone start out this way, or did it change over time? To most of us, the answer is obvious. Over time, the forces of the river current changed the river stone.

And from that thought when I see the same in life, like the river stone, forces in our lives are constant and never ending causing changes whether we like it or not. The important question for all of us though is how do we respond to change?

Many of us, have to work to support ourselves, or our family. But, does change is the work environment, or changes in our lives go unnoticed, or is of little concern?

Take our working environment in particular. No longer can we rely on past experience to gives us a safety net. No longer can we count on seniority to guarantee us a job. Nor, can we count on the company we work for either being bought out or going out of business entirely.

Let’s be honest. You can resist change but it’s going to happen anyway. Ask yourself, what are your chances of surviving if you continue to resist change?

Change is hardly new to our society. Just look at your daily newspaper, or T.V. newscast, or Internet stories. Change is everywhere. It has been a constant companion for as long as people have roamed the earth. The most important and significant aspect about change is that it has accelerated over the last couple of decades due to technological advances, and a more global society.

In order to benefit from change we need to focus more on the advantages rather than the negative. Remember, change is going to happen anyway; wouldn’t it be better to be part of it rather than a fallout statistic because of it. If you find yourself resisting a new process, a new strategy, a new way of doing business, a good question to ask yourself is why the change is necessary. It is easier to adapt to change when you understand the reasons the change is required.

Taking the inevitability of change one step further, it is vitally important to keep expanding your knowledge, and to upgrade your skills, or learn a new skill. Don’t wait for someone else to suggest upgrading, or enrolling in a specialized course. If you wait, you may never get the opportunity because others may have already completed what you should have done. Sometimes, it will make the difference from keeping your job to having no job at all.

Change, adapt, and continue to learn. Change will affect you one way or the other, just like change happened to the river-stone.
