You 2.0
Homework
Follow-up
“We tend to regret the things we didn’t try more than those we did – even when we fail.”I chose this phrase to comment on because I think that what it says is very important and useful for our daily life.Unfortunately, people have the tendency to be afraid of new experiences, maybe because they don’t know what they are going to feel afterwards.
If you always follow the same routine, i.e. if you do each day the same things, life would be very unexciting and boring. As we live only once, we have to take advantage of the time we are given. This reminds me of another slogan, “Never leave for tomorrow what you can do today.” We have to live each day as if it was the last one. If we want something, we have to do it. However, we never have to forget about the morality of each act.
Another phrase from the text, connected to this idea, is “Temporary slips are crucial to eventual success.”Mistakes are very important because they make us see in what way we are wrong, and by knowing this we can correct our errors and do things right.
Perhaps, sometimes we are fearful of doing something new because we may do it incorrectly. Frequently, the first time we have done things, we don’t obtain the results we want. But if we do it a second or a third time, we will have seen which were our errors the previous times and will be able to avoid them, so that our work ends right. Because we learn from our mistakes “we never encounter the same stone.”
So, don’t feel sorry if you did imperfectly something, just do it again until you do your best.
It’s true that sometimes we can fail in our objectives, but if we never try we’ll never know. When we don’t do something just to avoid difficulty, we prevent ourselves from enjoying countless feelings and experiences. And in fact, those are much many than failures.
Summarizing the idea: we don’t have to be cowards, just enjoy life at ever moment and always try to see the positive side of each situation.
