There is a great story I would like to share with all of you beautiful people it’s probably a corny story with one of those predictable messages, but here it is…

Einstein was teaching a class one day. It was a math lesson and he was going through the nine times table.  He went from the multiple of nine and one until nine and ten. From nine multiplied by one until nine multiplied by nine, he wrote all the correct answers. When he got to the last multiple, being nine times ten, he wrote the answer to be, ninety-one. Clearly this is wrong, thus the whole class laughed. He quickly pointed out however that although he got one wrong all the others were correct. He pointed out how the whole class was so fast to make fun and laugh at the fact that he got one question wrong and how they were impressed that the others were all correct. The thing is, no one congratulated him on the one mistake. The mistake was mocked but not congratulated. The thing about mistakes, is that this is the way we learn.

Mistakes are the things we learn from. When we get things correct all the time, there is no room for growing. If we have no mistakes, we have no chances to learn a few lessons. It should be a celebration when we make a mistake. It should be something to be congratulated rather than mocked. Succeeding one hundred present of the time, will show that we are succeeding, yes. On the other hand, how are we going to learn and grow if the flaws and faults are not picked up on.

When you come across a mistake in your lifetime, don’t gloss over it and pretend it didn’t ever exist. Look it straight in the face and see how you can repair it. See how you can go back and redo it to make it right. Learn from it and take it all in. We need mistakes and the opportunities to be corrected in order to develop and see the wider possibilities. Personally, I would say that life would be super monotonous, if every person was perfect. That sounds so boring. I enjoy taking in all the flaws I have to change and learn from. The imperfections make each of us unique and our own kind of perfect. I have always thought that perfection is found in the imperfections of life. Take it from Einstein, he was a proper genius, he could have been a perfect human but he pointed out his mistakes. He purposely found opportunities to learn and develop. Nothing THAT perfect is never just an instant creation. It just takes one mistake to be able to have the greatest impact on who you can become.

“A person who never made any mistake, never tried anything new…”- Albert Einstein…
