MISTAKE MOCKERY

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are. These are the life lessons that can be learned but in a hard way...

Mistke...Mistak....Mistake...Yeah now it’s correct! Ever noticed how many mistakes one does in a single day and how many one have made during his lifetime? Sometimes they can be one in a day or sometimes it may turn out to be century in just a few days. Sometimes they can be funny but at times could be so lethal that it may transform into lifetime remorse. But what I think is that how people agree to this statement “I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice, had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes”. I never felt my mistake valuable! I don’t even consider them as lessons since I am either held up in these mistakes or in their outcomes! It always happens with the result of getting a sound scolding from the elders or may even turn out to be the others grudges. There are millions of mistakes done by humans in this world since the human evolution but still I think that mistakes are basically of three natures.

Well this classification is not based on any theory or any scientific experimentation. It is all just my perception. Mistakes may be a Fault, a Crime or a silly one. Faults are mistakes of ignorance and they are most of the times spared if the other person doesn’t have lost that much patience. Crime is an extreme case of mistake, not spared anytime. I won’t make a mistake of defining a crime for my profession has ignorance of the word crime. Silly mistakes are yet another case that we often make. Sometimes blowing signs or factorial errors in maths or sometimes reading the question wrongly in a much crucial exam, the others may be misplacing, putting things wrongly or even forgetting. In business the mistakes may turn out to be bankruptcy, not thinking of the survival or the loss of momentum. But in engineering field the mistakes may turn out to be faulty bridges, faulty circuits, faulty structures or the faulty transformers. The engineering mistakes are much more dangerous for it may account for causalities in a much number. In the medical profession the mistake is all around the life of a human being. One single mistake can just take away a precious life. While I remember in my alumina I made a mistake of short circuiting the Thevinin

circuit to which my mentor honoured me of designing an explosive. An invention due mistake!

We never know when the mistakes originated. But I guess these are inborn human instincts and were present from the day humans got created. According to Isaac Asimov “When people thought that earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought earth was spherical they were wrong. But if you think that thinking that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together,”

Mistakes we do make knowingly or unknowingly. To err is human. How much we try to overcome them, more will they try to meddle with us. But the fact is how one knows to live up with myriads of mistakes around and how one knows the way out of that mistake. Hope you don’t make another mistake of your life while reading my article!
