LIFE LESSON IN QUOTES - MISTAKE

Life is a game, play it. Life is a battle, fight it. Life is a journey, travel it are some of the perspectives on life.

However, one views life there is one common factor that we all admit to. It has forced and unforced errors of the game of tennis which is repeatedly referred to as mistake. Life is filled with a fair share of mistakes but life in essence is not a mistake by itself.

In continuation of the earlier post, if one were to look at the mistake, the words of John Mayer fit in as a glove fits to the hand

" The biggest mistake I made in life 

and 

what cost me a lot of enjoyment in my life, 

was 

assuming that everybody cared. They don't"

Moss Hart simply put the mistakes in life  to be

" All the mistakes I ever made in my life 

were 

when I wanted to say NO 

and 

said YES."

George Bernard Shaw held mistakes to be not only an integral part of life but also to be one which makes life honourable in the following words

In the lesson emanating from the mistakes many texts say 

" Laugh at your mistake 

but

learn from them. 

Joke over your troubles 

but

gather strength from them. 

Have fun with your difficulties, 

but 

overcome them."

Bill Gates defined mistake in a compelling manner

" If you are born poor, it is not your mistake. 

But,

 if you die poor it is your mistake."

The poverty need not necessarily be in terms of wealth and could be in terms of character and health too.

Thus, the critical role MISTAKES play in our life forms the next life lesson in the A to Z series and the apt words of Albert Einstein brings us to the end of this post

" The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned"
