Mistakes and successes

17/05/2024 Nilson Lattari

Nobody likes to make mistakes, and everybody tries to decide what strategy will be successful in the final analysis. The dilemma is finding a balance between mistakes and successes, as if they were impossible to occur.
Mistakes can come from irresponsible attitudes or a strategy planned for years that we get working and fail, or a bold step that seemed great only in our imagination. Ultimately, mistakes can be bad things that hurt us or others. And what about successes?
When we talk about successes, we often imagine the same strategies and we don’t wonder if our strategy makes success, if we were simply fortunate to achieve our goals. Alternatively, we elaborate on perfect strategies and add the mistakes of others to it, and we will produce benefits for ourselves or others.
When we sit in a chair and look at the scenery in front of us, or if we are just watching tragedies on TV, we don’t care about the consequences of our passive behaviour. In this situation, there aren’t mistakes or successes. In fact, we make mistakes when we don’t try to avoid happenings, or we make successes when we recognize that we are unable to help.
Mistakes and successes are subordinate to different points of view. From the perspective of people in need is great when they receive benefits. On the other hand, these people sometimes live in such conditions due to past mistakes. Do we have to help them or not? Do we have the right to judge them?
Furthermore, how many of us are dealing with past mistakes in life? These situations are not because we elected the wrong side, but we made choices.
So, mistakes or successes are risks that we experience in life. Don’t take risks is the explanation of people who have never made mistakes. Because mistakes are consequences of a leap in the dark that we decide to execute. People who say that they have never made mistakes possibly have never experienced adventures because they chose to live in their comfort zones. In essence, if we live in our comfort zones and avoid mistakes, it is worse than never trying to pursue our wishes.
There aren’t experiments in the world only based on mistakes or successes. In fact experiments are based on the fear of doing. To demonstrate our capacity to make things, experiments are evidence that our mistakes or successes are crucial in defining us.
What are the mistakes in a world of experiments?
Our critiques are full of supposed mistakes or successes. We criticize things that we know, and on the other hand, we are a significant and unknown X of our mistakes and successes. The question is how to balance our fears is confronting our mistakes and successes. One who doesn’t pursue goals cannot comprehend feelings like sadness and joy derived from making mistakes and achieving successes. Nobody is an adventurer if they are just sitting on a sofa in a room watching tragedies on TV. Nobody lives in the real world, seeing heroes making mistakes and successes being built in their imagination.
Our imagination is the best place to make mistakes and successes. We build up in our minds the possibilities of taking risks. The big mistake is to conceive in our imagination a perfect and possible world where there is no chance to make mistakes. For those who don’t wish to make mistakes, the real risk is achieving nothing.
