"When you make a mistake, dont look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."

- Hugh White

I am no longer a child, however not yet an adult; somewhere in between. I am in the process of maturing, nurturing my soul with all the lessons life have taught me. I hope life can be as easy as ABC but true, life will never be easy as ABC because if it does, it wont be worth living. Life is hard but that doesnt mean we shouldnt enjoy it. I always try to keep it in mind that the present is a gift but we, humans, forgets things, take it for granted and the next thing you know is poof... what did i say a second ago?

How do we get better? The answer is mistakes, which i am sure it is not a stranger to everyone.

Each day a person will make at least one mistake; ordering the wrong food, instead of listening to the lecturers we just sleep through it, instead of doing the report we watch gossip girl, instead of taking the initiative of something, we back out and choose to ignore it, all those kind of simple and not-something-like-murdering-someone kind of mistakes (there are cases where people got killed because of mistakes but lets not go there. haha) But you know what's great? It will get better! When we learn from our mistakes and take note of the consequences and put ourselves in the shoes of the people whom we disappointed and hurt, we will get better in everything; in life! It may not exert its effect now but in time, believe me it will.

Future will be full of life, promises, wisdom, happiness and adventure when people actually learn from their mistakes.

We are humans, we are all the same but what make us different from others is the decision we make and the path we choose, which will eventually shape us to what we are in the future. You can make the wrong decision and take the wrong path because it is never too late to turn back. Putting theory into practice is not easy but it is not impossible. People say life is a long road, we have to keep moving forward but to me, life is a long road, full of U-turns. If you're on the wrong road, just take a U-turn. Mistakes are like detour. It is not the shortest way but you will be back on track and maybe discover something beautiful on the way; you will never know.
