The Mistakes People make...

A young boy was asked years back, that what was his biggest mistake in life.
Of course he gave a funny answers.


I lied, stole from my parents, cheated, scammed, humiliated others and laughed, threw rocks at people with the intent to kill. All by the time I was 10 years old.

Later it got much worse. Later I actually thought I was smart.

This is the great thing about being young: you're so arrogant and stupid and unreasonably confident that you have 100% confidence that everything you do will fit right into the picture.

A million piece jigsaw puzzle where you never pick up the wrong piece as you try to put it in the right position.

But this part is good: you have no money, so it's really hard to blow it. And if you destroy a relationship, then good for you - you were too young anyway.

This I can say from my experience. I proposed to a girl when I was 19. Then when I was 21, 22, 23, and 24. All to different women.

And they all said yes. That's how stupid we all were then. It was like the convention of stupid. StupaCon.

Fortunately we were all so stupid and broke that nothing ever happened.

Here's the truth: you can't fail as a kid. I sometimes get messages like, "I'm 23 and I failed and now I don't know what to do."

 “Believing that there's some big life-defining moment that's just over the horizon,” one person wrote on the Reddit forum.

“Who you're going to be in life is the accumulation of small choices and built-up habits rather than something that happens in a big jump when you graduate college or get your first ‘real’ job or whatever.”

For other people, mistakes were made in regard to money: “Confusing being able to make minimum payment with being able to afford something,” wrote one.

Whilst many agreed with this statement, others suggested it wasn’t something confined to the young: “I do not think that is exclusively a young people problem. I know tons of people well into their 50s and 60s with hundreds of thousands in debt and no way to EVER pay it off.”


Many people regret quitting hobbies that they used to enjoy and consider doing so a mistake when they get older.

“It's hard to get back in the habit even when it comes to something you enjoy once you get a little older, and time becomes scarce,” one person explained.
“Often you can't just ‘pick up’ from where you left off, and have to spend a little bit of time getting back into the groove of it (which keeps a lot of people from ever coming back).”


Anyone who is learning a language will want to know as much as possible before they start to use it.
But in trying to be perfect, you may end up making a big mistake.
Naturally, you’re going to get some things wrong as you move along your language learning journey. You’ll forget grammar rules, mix up vocabulary, or completely mispronounce words at times!
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try – or that you’re not good enough.
Instead embrace your mistakes and keep practicing!
