Mistakes = Experience

We have always heard that experience matters everywhere. Whether you go for a job, start a company or even in life, experience matters a lot. Often we have seen someone giving life advice saying that he has a lot of experience and that’s why he knows these situations better than anyone else.

But do you gain experience? How you become experienced in something? Is it just the number of years you spend studying about something? Is a person who is older guaranteed to have more experience than a younger one?

Let me tell you how-

MISTAKES!!!

Mistakes are what helps us gain experience. When we make a mistake, we learn new things and this helps us gain experience which further leads to success.

I once asked someone on a very high post-

Me- How did you do this?

He- By making good decisions

Me- How do you make good decisions?

He- From experience

Me- How do you gain experience?

He- By making bad decisions

So don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Your mistakes are just the pearls you are gathering in your backpack you just don’t realise the value of. But these pearls are the ones which will make you rich someday. So keep collecting them😊

SET HIGH TARGETS

We are told since we are kids, “Set goals, targets and then work hard to achieve them”. Whether it is academic or sports or business, everyone sets a target and then achieve them or nearly achieve them.

But why is setting target so important? can’t we succeed without setting target? The answer is yes, we can obviously get success but target setting just helps our mind to know what is the maximum we want to achieve and it operates the body accordingly. Okay, those lines maybe complicated.

Let us take an example: when you go to gym, you know a level of every exercise you can do easily. Let us take squats, lets suppose you can do 40 squats comfortably. But you will set you target to 50 squats and when you start, you will do 40 easily, 41 to 47 will be very hard and last 3 would just take as much effort as the previous 47 did. Obviously you will complete 50 squats but you will not be able to do a single more. After doing 50 you will feel totally exhausted and will not be able to do more.

Now, lets analyse the example.

  1. when you can do 40 squats easily, why did you set your target to 50?
  2. Even when you were not in position to do more than 47, how did you complete 50?
  3. why you were not able to do the 51st?

I hope you will find the answers, do share them. Now, you know why is it important to set high targets.

like someone said, Always aim for the moon, if you miss it, don’t worry, you will fall among the stars.

and like Dan Pena said,” You will never achieve a cent more than your target”.

Say NO

What do you think is the most difficult thing to say?….let me tell you…NO.

From the time we are in school, we are taught to say yes to every work or responsibility given to us, we are supposed to say yes to everything our teacher says. But the real meaning of life lies in saying NO. The person who has the ability to say NO without any hesitation or second guesses has no stopping whatsoever.

So , learn to say NO and teach our children to say NO.

Comparison

Comparison is a good thing and a bad thing as well. Comparison is what motivates a person to become better and better every day. It is what helps us to push our limits and scale new heights.

But it is also the cause of our misery and unhappiness. Comparison is what makes you think that you are not good enough, you are not efficient enough and you are not ENOUGH.

Comparison is what lets us think that we are not worthy enough. You see is there is only one millionaire in the town and others are poor, the millionaire would be very happy of his wealth because he is comparing it to others near him. Now, if all others near him are multi millionaires or billionaires, he would feel himself as poor and will become unhappy. Why? Just because he is comparing his level of success with others. This is where we go wrong.

Comparison is not a bad thing but it should not overtake yourself from you. It should act as a motivating force and not as a reason of your dissatisfaction and misery. You need to take care of that.

LIVE

We all are here, in this world. But are we all living? Or we just exist in this world? Is Living and existing same thing?

Well, definitely it is not.

Living is not the same as existing. Living refers to soul whereas existing only refers to our physical form i.e. body

Everyone of us exist here but only a few are living the existence. Living means appreciating everything around us and fall in love with beauty of the nature every single second. It means a situation where we are totally with ourselves, living out our dream, doing the craziest things we always wanted to do, travelling the world, spending lovely time with family and sleeping tension free with a smile on the face😊.

So, All i want to say is,” Don’t just exist, LIVE”.

Lesson

Life will continue to teach you same lesson again and again until you finally learn.

For ex: you were frauded once but you didn’t learn any lesson from it. There are very high chances that you will be frauded again. You will continue to face such situations until you become more intelligent and attentive to situations.

Thanks😊

Chosing the right path

Have you ever faced a situation where you try to tell your friend or any known person that the way he is trying to do a thing is not right or that there is a better way to do that thing and just faced disappointment because he failed to understand your viewpoint??

Well….i think most of us have faced the same situation one or more times. Have you ever thought why it happens?

Well…as someone said,”you can show someone a path only when he doesn’t know one or he knows one but is willing to see another one”.

This line fits perfectly in our situation. When we try to tell someone, he already knows a path and he is accustomed to it and doesn’t want to change the path because he believes it is the right one.

Suppose when you were a kid, your mom would tell you that 2+2= 5. Now, even if god himself comes and tells you that 2+2=4 and not 5. You would not believe him because you know an answer which is different from that of god and you truly believe in that answer because your mom told you the answer.

This is the same situation with people who don’t understand a different point of view. We should teach our children and also try ourselves to be open to every point of view because it may open new opportunities and new doors of success for you.

Thanks😊

Imagination= Intelligence

The Great Albert Einstein once said,” The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”.

That is 100% true because what we can imagine is directly proportional to what we can achieve. The plane was designed by someone who could imagine something that could fly. A person who can not even imagine that a thing can be built which can carry people and fly in the air can never built it. So the imagination is very important.

I agree that knowledge is also very important but if we think deeply, we will find that knowledge is nothing but understanding someone else’s imagination and something which he has brought into reality.

For example: Imagining the plane and actually creating it is imagination and intelligence and now studying about the plane, which we call education and knowledge, we are only reading something which someone else imagined a long time ago. Now, if we do some major changes or updates in that thing, that to happens because we could use our imagination and imagine some beneficial changes in that.

Thus, Real Intelligence is Imagination and not Knowledge.
