Do Not Focus On Your Mistakes

You are not perfect. And nobody expects you to be perfect. Because of that, mistakes are going to happen.

When they happen, do not worry yourself about them. The only thing you can do is to focus on how you are going to get yourself back up.

And if you catch yourself worrying about them, tell yourself, ‘It is okay to make mistakes.’

Because we learn when we make mistakes. If you are not making enough mistakes, guess what, your innovative boss will soon fire you.

It means you are not taking enough risks. It means you are playing it too safe. It means you just want to be comfortable. And it means you do not want to be successful.

If you are scared of making a mistake, then you are scared of growth.

If you are scared of making a mistake, it means you are under the control of your ego.

If you do not want to make a mistake, then it means you do not want to get to the next level. Guess what? You can run, but you cannot hide. You can avoid it for now, but you cannot avoid it forever.

If you want to be successful at what you do, if you want your boss to promote you, you must learn to live with mistakes. You must learn to accept mistakes. And you must say to yourself, ‘It is okay to mess up.’ Because we are human beings.

Do Not Be Afraid To Ask Stupid Questions

To know more things, ask more questions. To know what you do not know, ask more questions.

Questions are powerful. They are stronger than asnwers. If something is not working for you, do not be afraid to ask stupid questions. Question yourself. Question your own assumptions.

Question what you know. Question what you do not know. Because you know more when you question more.

Do not wait for answers. Answers are good. They make you feel smart. They make you look smart. But the question is, ‘Are you expanding your world?’

If not, do not be afraid to question yourself, to ask yourself, ‘Why am I still here? Why is this thing not working for me? What is possible? Question everything. Because everything is questionable.

If you do not ask, you won’t know. If you do not question, you won’t have. Do not consume answers. Instead, ask more stupid questions.
