Mistakes

I got this circulated onto my mailbox today and I would like to share it with you.

What they actually means:
If a barber makes a mistake, it is a new styles
If a driver makes a mistake, it is a new path
If a engineer makes a mistake, it is a venture
If parents makes a mistake, it is a new generation
If a politician makes a mistake, it is a new law
If a scientist makes a mistake, it is a new invention
If a tailor makes a mistake, it is a new fashion
If a teacher makes a mistake , it is a new theory
If a boss makes a mistake, it is a new idea
If an employee makes a mistake, it is a "Mistake"

========================================

My opinion:
With reference to the above statements, it is a common thread and excuses for people who are trying to protect or defence themselves if there is mistake, something is wrong, failures... etc??? Why do people make mistakes???

I think we make mistakes for the following reasons:

  • Incomplete knowledge or information: We often make decisions or conclusions on things that we do not know about the relevant facts. We often came out with our own assumption without checking on the validity of the information. Mmmmmmmm, that is why people like to spread the rumours and gossips.
  • Poor communication: People do not always share necessary information and facts. We often like to have our own opinions without further discussion with those who understand the subjects better.
  • Pressure: People always make mistakes when they are require to make decision under stress and when they are require to make a decision spontaneously or immediately. When we are under pressure, it is very difficult to decide because our brain cannot think straight and cannot process the information. If we are under pressure, our mind is in its' unconcious stage.
  • Situation: People often make mistakes when there is a change in the condition of situation. Maybe what they have done or said yesterday, might not be relevant the nexts day to support them due to the change of situation. In a changing situation, people sometimes can make mistakes by making a wrong decision. With globalisation, everything is moving too fast nowadays. Anything can changes within a few second/minutes/hours. The information that you got today, might not valid tomorrow.
Please remember that, there is nothing wrong for you to do some mistakes because it is part of the growing up and being matured process. With all the mistakes that we have done, they make us becoming a better person and stronger in facing all the difficulties, obstacles and challenges in our everyday life.

BUT.....

If we often do the same mistakes, then we need to ask
"What is wrong with me?"
