Human beings are one smart-ass race, one that is able to procreate this much in this planet. However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t make mistakes. We hold on for this long because we continuously make mistakes, making us aware of what needs to be changed in order to improve. And this is precisely why making mistakes is really important for you and your life. In school, we are taught to never making any mistake, which leaves us constantly worry about our every move.
“Do I state the exact date of this person’s birth right in that test?”
“Am I really sure that those essays I just made are 100% free from plagiarism?”
“Shit, I can’t run in the hallway, that teacher will scold me!”
“Shit, I can’t wear my yellow socks on Monday!”
And bunch of other useless rules we know ridiculous, yet must obey. And this is why they don’t want you to make mistakes. They want to keep you in control. Don’t play by their rules, because this is your life. Play your own rules. Make mistakes. Sometimes regret it, but then do this : forgive yourself, and move on!
