Life is full of …..

 

As more and more years are added to age, it’s less and less affordable to make mistakes. They can be very costly and consequential.   

I try to avoid mistakes and forgive myself for making small errors: telling jokes in serious meetings, say Yes when I wanted to say No, buying stuff on impulse thinking their values would appreciate in the future & I’d be rich, hoarding stuff thinking they might be useful someday and expecting a huge demand for my artworks!

Well, real life sometimes is filled with miscalculations, errors and s****!

Mistaken Friend or Foe?

 

It’s not a mistake to make new friends.

But is it a big mistake not to break old ones who have become toxic and gone astray?

They have superpowers and are all above the law and you could do nothing to change them. You want to leave them-good for you. For some reasons you cannot leave them-I understand too. For sure, old doesn’t always mean good.

Mistake: Who pays?

 

Others make mistakes. I make unavoidable errors!

If I make an error, I’ll suffer and pay.

When boss makes mistakes, all the workers suffer and the organization pays.

When ‘big brother’ makes mistakes, the whole population suffer and taxpayers made to pay!

So someone has to suffer or pay for any mistake made but it might not always be the mistake-maker. That’s why it’s called a mistake.

Learning from others

 

We don’t learn from others’ mistakes. It’s not our style. We always learn our lessons the hard way because we believe nasty things would never happen to us till we gotten ‘slapped’ in the face!

That’s why we often pay heavy prices for lessons learned this way. You can be different! Don’t follow us.

No Laughing Matter

 

Since young, my mum told me it’s ok to joke about oneself but never to laugh at others. It isn’t a wise thing to do and worse if you mock others in front of them in public. The consequence could be serious. If you really can’t control yourself and must do it, then you need to have a quick escape plan or some self-defence skills to survive the aftermath!
