Don't learn from your mistake.

-

Learning from one's mistakes is actually the worse thing to do.



My photography instructor back then would always say, 



Ola, for you to learn you have to make mistake.



And I accepted it.



After taking so many awkward shots, low, overexposed pictures and the likes...



I kept trying, making mistakes at the process but at last I got a grip of it.



And I was happy I made those mistakes because it gave me a whole lot of experience.



But it took a whole lot of time, the time I would have used to do and learn other things.



So I was just pondering, must I make mistakes before I can learn anything at all????



Why not learn from other people's mistakes?



 *Like me learning mistakes???* 



And it made a whole lot of sense...



If my instructor back then had enlightened me more about her own mistakes, I wouldn't have made the same mistake before I learn from them.



Just that enlightenment I needed and it would have saved me a whole lot of time I used in making those rigorous mistakes before finally learning.



I am not saying making mistakes is either wrong or right or that you wouldn't make mistakes at all.



But imagine you learning from other people's mistakes relating to what you're doing or learning.



 *It saves you more time.* 



 *It also gives you a perfect headstart.* 



 *It offers you a whole lot of experience you will need for now and in the long run.* 



That is why getting a *MENTOR* can't be over-emphasized.



A mentor will put you through, guide you, instruct you also not allow you to make the same mistake he or she once made.



Not just any mentor but a good mentor.



Get a good mentor in the field you find yourself in and it would save you a whole lot of years and stress.



Even if you will make mistakes at all because mistakes are inevitable, It would be minimal compared to just you doing it alone.



GET A MENTOR



Let's write, let's learn.

  You see,  I've come to realize something and I'll like to share it with you. This little observation will determine if you'll be successful or if you'll continue to live in the   trenches . I might be blunt with words but that's just the truth. You see, it happens to the best people and even you are not excluded. For you not to be part of this again that's why I'll share it with you right now But before I do, I need to say something. This is one of the many posts that you'll be receiving from me… And I can't wait to keep sharing them with you. But it won't be nice if I'm the only one doing the talking… How will you feel if you're talking to your best friend and he/she keeps staring at you without saying just a single word? That's exactly how I'll feel if you seldom reply. Though we might not always agree and that's normal … But why will you keep your opinions to yourself? Your opinions and thoughts are always welcome. That a...

WHY NOT TRY THESE?

Reading the first two chapters of the Boron Letter by Gary Hilbert has been wonderful. Okay, let me brief you. Thank you. Actually talking about how exercises relieve your brain to function well. The past couple of days have been horrible just because I've been finding it hard to read for long. Fine, I'm not a type who can read for 5 hours straight but I know I can at least read for two hours on a stretch. But of recent even to read for 15 minutes has been challenging. Taking a book to read and in the next 15 minutes, I am already feeling a headache or feeling dizzy. I got worried, about how will I be able to catch up in reading the books I set for myself on a daily. Then I came across THE BORON LETTER, Though I was looking for something else which is Copywriting tips the first two chapters have just been what I really need now. It talked about doing simple exercises in the morning almost immediately when you are awake. Exercise like taking a road walk, jogging and so on after ...
