learn from my mistakes

Mistake:
One and a half month ago I sprained my right ankle while doing jumping jacks. Not only did I exercise in socks, no I just had to keep moving after my ankle already hurt, because I refused to acept that I had to discontinue my exercise. I got my bill the next morning, when my ankle hurt even more and I had to hobble through the next three weeks. There wasn’t much with exercise then!

What’s to be learned:
- Exercise with shoes on, whenever it’s about jumping (dancing included) and running
- One day without training is the wiser option to a longer period of time without exercise

Mistake: Chatting with “friends” at the workplace about my plans to leave and start something new.

Learning: It will get to the bosses/owners. They will make it uncomfortable and try to force you out earlier. They will cut hours and ask even more co-workers to spy on you behind your back.

Lesson: Don’t gossip about your personal business at work, it will come back to haunt you.

I have been doing quite good with this! Everything I made a mistake with, I wrote down and kept record of. With everything and anything, including the smallest kinds of mistakes. I have been learning from them and such experiences will increase my awareness and assuage and prevent future mistakes that are of the same or similar nature.

Anytime I make a mistake with anything, I intend to make note of it, and then ponder, analyse and reflect on how I think I could have avoided it or at least mollified it, so as to increase awareness of that particular err in the hope of not repeating it (or something of a similar nature) again in the future.

I REALLY need to learn how to say this. The next time I get a call from a recruiter with the “perfect positon” that would be a perfect match for my qualifications and salary requirements, I need to learn to simply express my appreciation for the offer, and let them know that I am pursuing other options.

Another lesson: STOP MISSING CLASS FOR JOB INTERVIEWS before it affects my grade.

Another lesson: Quit getting aggravated when I ask for God’s will to be done in my life, pray, and then go to an “interview” only to find that the agency is only seeking my information to either send me on a 2 month assignment, or to simply have my information on file in case something comes up. I DID ask for God’s will to be done, ad it appears that I’m to “stay the course” in school.

I need to remember that the word “professional” does not have the letter F twice! And that it is “REFERENCE” that does not have the double R in the middle, but “REFERRAL” that does! And I’ve gotten into the habit of when writing the word “received” of putting the I before the E!

:D

There are a lot of things people regret. There are also many people that say, “never regret.” I think this is impossible. No matter what you do in life, you’re going to regret something. Whether it was taking a wrong turn, trusting someone, or letting someone go, you will regret something.

I think it’s what you do with the regret that counts. You think, “Gee, I fucked up!” So what are you going to do about it? Sit there, think about the stupid thing that happened and hope it never happens again? I’d hope not.

I need to learn to pay attention to my actions, and the effects they have on the world around me. I need to learn from my mistakes and my regrets instead of just dwelling on them, wishing I did things differently.

you just have to take something away frm them
