We did have lots and lots of teachers all throughout our
lives. Some were our classroom teachers while others were our non-classroom
teachers who taught us greater lessons through their actions, words and experiences.
The non-classroom teachers that I mentioned could be our
parents, friends, relatives, colleagues or even strangers who initiated some new
thought in us. Some of them were passive, while some very active. Some were
informative while some boring. Some taught us through tears while some taught
us through smiles.
I am sure you thoughts would be presently racing through
the many teachers of your life. Remembering all those who have taught us the
varied lessons of life, and if someone asked you who your best teacher was, what
would you reply?
Well! I would gladly say my best teacher was my last
mistake.
Sounds weird .Isn’t it? But isn’t it the truth?
We all learn from our mistakes. We might or mightn’t forget
the lessons that others had taught us. But will we ever forget what our own
mistakes had taught us? No. The bigger our mistake, the bigger its impact will
be. And the bigger its impact, the better and longer we remember that .And
that’s exactly the reason why I said my best teacher was my last mistake.
If our mistakes are our teachers, then why fear them?
Don’t let the fear of committing mistakes pull you down from doing something
you dream. We might make mistakes when we take a new step. But we will learn
from it and keep going till we succeed. So accept mistakes as a part of your
life. Acknowledge mistakes as a teacher who helps you improve. Remember them,
learn from them, but never be afraid of them, for without mistakes no one has
ever succeeded in life.
