As soon as you start blaming other people you distance yourself from any possible lesson. But if you courageously stand up and honestly say “This is my mistake and I am responsible” the possibilities for learning will move towards you. Admission of a mistake, even if only privately to yourself, makes learning possible by moving the focus away from blame assignment and towards understanding. Wise people admit their mistakes easily. They know progress accelerates when they do.]]> 2016-08-15 16:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aankitasrivastava97/pdtf0t95e3zt/wish/118304216 aankitasrivastava97 https://padlet.com/aankitasrivastava97/pdtf0t95e3zt/wish/118308882 We’re taught in school, in our families, or at work to feel guilty about failure and to do whatever we can to avoid mistakes. This sense of shame combined with the inevitability of setbacks when attempting difficult things explains why many people give up on their goals: they’re not prepared for the mistakes and failures they’ll face on their way to what they want. What’s missing in many people’s beliefs about success is the fact that the more challenging the goal, the more frequent and difficult setbacks will be. The larger your ambitions, the more dependent you will be on your ability to overcome and learn from your mistakes.]]> 2016-08-15 17:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aankitasrivastava97/pdtf0t95e3zt/wish/118308882 aankitasrivastava97 https://padlet.com/aankitasrivastava97/pdtf0t95e3zt/wish/118311783 Putting yourself in situations where you can make interesting mistakes.Having the self-confidence to admit to them.Being courageous about making changes.
The kind of mistakes you make define you. The more interesting the mistakes, the more interesting the life. If your biggest mistakes are missing reruns of tv-shows or buying the wrong lottery ticket you’re not challenging yourself enough to earn more interesting mistakes.
And since there isn’t much to learn from simple and stupid mistakes, most people try to minimize their frequency and how much time we spend recovering from them. Their time is better spent learning from bigger mistakes. But if we habitually or compulsively make stupid mistakes, then what we really have is an involved mistake.

This happens in any environment: the workplace, friendships or even commitments you’ve made to yourself. Renewing commitments can be tough since it requires not only admitting to the recent mistake, but acknowledging similar mistakes you’ve made before. The feelings of failure and guilt become so large that we don’t have the courage to try again.]]> 2016-08-15 17:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aankitasrivastava97/pdtf0t95e3zt/wish/118315043 aankitasrivastava97 https://padlet.com/aankitasrivastava97/pdtf0t95e3zt/wish/118317453 Accepting responsibility makes learning possible.Don’t equate making mistakes with being a mistake.You can’t change mistakes, but you can choose how to respond to them.Growth starts when you can see room for improvement.Work to understand why it happened and what the factors were.What information could have avoided the mistake?What small mistakes, in sequence, contributed to the bigger mistake?Are there alternatives you should have considered but did not?What kinds of changes are required to avoid making this mistake again?What kinds of change are difficult for you?How do you think your behavior should/would change in you were in a similar situation again?Work to understand the mistake until you can make fun of it (or not want to kill others that make fun).Don’t over-compensate: the next situation won’t be the same as the last.
