THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MAKING MISTAKES


Mistakes are a natural occurrence; mistakes happen all the time and it doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the world.
Have you been making huge mistakes in just about everything? There are some things/facts you should know about making mistakes.
1. Everyone makes mistakes
2. Mistakes give us the chance to learn, and what’s more important are the things you learn from making mistakes.
3. You can learn from someone’s mistakes, because you wouldn’t have the chance to make all the mistakes.
4. Mistakes humble us all and reminds us that we are only humans at the end of the day.
5. Mistakes give us the chance to learn more about ourselves.
6. You wouldn’t know the stuff you are made of until you are given the chance to right your mistakes.
7. Mistakes teach us the value of forgiveness, and you must first learn to forgive yourself.
8. The vital thing about mistakes is that they teach you what works and what doesn’t.
9. Mistakes give us the chance to improve our skill and increase our knowledge.
10. Sometimes, mistakes are important because they slow us down when we are moving too fast, and give us the opportunity to think and reason.
Show me a wise man, and  I’d show you a man that has made mistakes. Imagine what the world will look like if there were no mistakes; the learning curve will be incomplete.

We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
