Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes
By: N. George
Worth Noting:
- Whenever you compare theoretical education with practical education you will realise that much as both are important having practical education alone is better than having theoretical education alone. When it comes to self-education most of times it is the practical education.
- In self-education you are able to use your own pace as no one is giving you tight deadlines rather you are taking your own time to audit the process and identify which areas require improvement.
- Whenever you are able to pinpoint all the mistakes that you do in accomplishing a certain task you are empowered to become innovative as you become aware of where you should improve and the overall impact on the task performed.
Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education ….………. Thomas Carlyle.
Think of a toddler he does not shy from repeating whatever those around him are doing. He does not mind whether what others around him are doing is good or bad he just repeats and tries to do it to his level best whether to pronounce a word, walk in a certain style, lift a certain object or eat certain food over time he perfects just like the one he emulates.
Failing to succeed in the first or second attempt does not mean that you will never succeed. It helps you to assess how good you are in a certain area. The next time you are on the same mission you are able to know where to pick from.
There are people who are said to look alike but the truth is no one is a hundred percent like the other but none of them can be said to look ugly. Our variances are our uniqueness and are important in differentiating us.
Self-evaluation is important as it help you to take stock of what you have then know what to look for in terms of areas to improve or which strengths you have that you can focus on it so as to remain highly productive.

As a human being knowledge of the mistakes that you are fond of making help you to be real in that you realise that no one is perfect but we strive to do our level best.
While dealing with other people and you have already self-evaluated yourself and identified your mistakes you will be able to set practical goals rather than remaining ideal which could be stressing them due to their inability to be perfect.
Much have been discovered so far and popularized and that is why we use certain processes and credit that technology to the inventors but that does not mean that no other new discoveries or way of performing tasks can be devised.
Upon understanding the current systems and the mistakes you make then try to come up with a process that takes care of those short comings many people would not trust what you are doing as they will have no clear idea of the final outcome but their failure to support you should not dissuade you from correcting your mistakes.
