We all like to do different things and many time we are scared of doing mistakes and we are so much dependent on our evaluation of success and failure that we do not like trying new things. We have an ego which cannot accept that we have failed but in reality, we never fail. everything which looks like a failure right now is a part of learning and growing up only if you are not attached to the mistake and learn to look past those mistakes. just because you are afraid of mistakes and that is why you are not doing anything new, then I am sorry, you will always be following the herd as you will just follow a path which is well trodden, so that you never fail, but you never win until you have failed. You will always be walking on the mid line and be safe. most of the times, i wonder what is a mistake, when something do not happen as we had expected, we think we have done a mistake, but in reality there is never a mistake, its a different step or a different way of looking at things…so never think a mistake has happened and es when we start walking we do fall, even when we know how to walk we do fall, it does not matter how many times we fall, but the main thing is after that we start walking again..if you have fallen does not mean that you keep sitting on the ground…you start walking again to reach to your home..so keep walking and you would reach there.
