“I have a certain amazing genius; worthy of a Nobel Prize I’m sure, and that’s making mistakes.
Yes, of course, all of us make mistakes, that’s part of being human, we’re all imperfect.
We all make mistakes, and regret things in our past. But we are not only our mistakes, but we are also what we learn from them. Maybe we have to repeat that mistake a few times to really get it. Sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. Sometimes we think we can hide those mistakes by being our own defense lawyers and somehow justifying them, instead of just admitting we fucked up. Sometimes we hurt those we love the most in the worst way.
It does not mean we are bad people and cannot ever earn back the trust of those we hold dear.
Every mistake we make brings us closer to our own fragility and if we open our eyes, they also illuminate us. Realizing those mistakes might give us a map that opens up a whole new world and shines a light on our journey.
Learning something new every day is an ability we as humans have and should take advantage of every day in this lifetime.”
― Riitta Klint

“I heard the door at the far end of the hallway swing open. Then I heard familiar footsteps approaching. After going to three different schools for seven years, I knew it was Mark.

“Hi, Mark,” I said.

“Hey, pal. I thought I’d find you here,” Mark said.

I sighed wearily.

“Did you find her?” Mark asked tentatively.

“Yeah.”

“Did you tell her how you feel?”

“In a manner of speaking, yes.”

“What did she say?”

I turned around to face my best friend. Concern born of seven years’ worth of friendship was written on his open face. Whatever his faults, you could never accuse Mark of being unconcerned.

“I – ah – wrote her a letter,” I said slightly embarrassed.

“I see,” he said quietly. He pursed his lips. “Did she say anything?”

“I asked her not to read it until after commencement.”

“I see,” he said again. I could tell he was disappointed in me.

There was another one of those awkward silences. I felt oddly like a mischievous schoolboy who’d been sent to the principal’s office for some infraction of the rules. Mark just shook his head in disbelief and gave me a tut-tut look.

“You know,” he said quietly, “sometimes playing it safe can be the worst thing you can do.”

“Macht nichts,” I said bitterly.

“Like hell, macht nichts, pal. It makes a hell of a difference, if you ask me.” Mark shook his head sadly. “I really don’t want to be there when you find out for yourself what a stupid mistake it is that you made today.”
― Alex Diaz-Granados, Reunion: A Story: A Novella

― Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover

“The wrong things draw you in like the Sunday-sun the eyes. You would stare straight into it and wonder if there is something somewhere out there, other than depressing sunny days and lonely Sundays: something more. When you would take your eyes out of the sun again, you would only see red spots as if the light had forgotten them on your retina and then you would stand around and ponder why your eyes would always wander towards the sun, although you don't want them to and actually know that it does harm.
~ As the moon began to rust”
― Sima B. Moussavian

“Does the scale of a mistake really matter? Are a rich man’s feelings more important than a poor woman’s? Or are one person’s feelings any less valuable than a group of peoples'?”
― J. Lynn Else, Lost Daughters of Avalon

“Healthy riskiness involves the realness of our humanity in design, nature and decision making liberties; may we extend grace to others and ourselves who use mistakes as lessons to re-direct the journey.

As for me, to lead, impact and influence others after my own self love chouces keeps me clear, considerable, and balanced.

I depend and trust in a Creator who is without fault who keeps my foot from stumbling; perfection is in that love connection.

I identify deeply with that, so when a mistake occurs, the next opportunity to prevent it, rounds up a little higher for the journey of life.

Its about conquering the world with a victory confident mindset, no matter what mistakes occur, but staying the course for the life lesson work...anyday, everyday, and so on....”
― Dr. Tracey Bond

“I-ați explicat instrucțiunile pentru candidați?”, mi-au șuierat pe la urechi cuvintele președintelui comisiei de examen, la care am răspuns cu un „Da” de confruntare. Moment în care președintele iese val-vârtej din sala de examen și mă lasă în fața ochilor cu candidatul: o femeie în jur de 40 de ani căreia îi țâșnesc lacrimile, mâinile îi tremură, respirația îi este bolovănoasă. Cuvintele care îi ies din gâtlej zgârie liniștea spațiului cultivată de ceilalți 14 candidați care așteaptă să îi răspund: „Și eu acum ce fac?”

“Yamini felt a parched dryness in her throat and reached for her water bottle to quench her thirst. Just as she was about to remove her mask, a loud shout pierced the air. A figure in a fully protective suit came rushing toward her, intercepting the bottle just in time. "Do not remove the mask; you are not allowed," the person said firmly. Yamini looked up, startled, but the urgency in the voice left no room for debate. "You can drink water only after going to the ward," the person continued.”
