meant to make mistakes

This week is the week, known as hell week for students, a week wherein we have to face a lot of examinations. Our midterm exam is scheduled this week and thankfully, a little bit of 'kasipagan' hit me and so I was able to write my reviewer earlier.

That's how I review since I find it effective for me. Writing it down makes the lessons to retain in my memory. Reading it, writing it, and reading it again is just an effective way of reviewing.

While writing, there's this one word wherein I made a mistake. I wrote 'gratified' instead of writing 'gentrified'. And just like that, thoughts about mistake instantly flows like a river.


We are humans, we have the tendency to make mistakes, it's normal to make mistakes and we are meant to make mistakes. It's just that, there are different kind of mistakes and we should be careful not to make the kind of mistakes that we can't correct.

As a kid, we usually make mistakes and we are allowed to make those kind of mistakes. We can do all sort of mistakes and everything will be forgivable, our age and our childhood is to blame on those kind of mistakes. We are kids, we don't know what we're doing and that's enough reason to justify our actions.

Kids are prone to make mistakes. That can also be the reason why when we are on elementary, until grade 3 if I remember it correctly, we are only allowed to use pencil for when we make mistakes on our writings, all we need is eraser and it'll be so easy to erase and replace.

I guess, what I'm just saying is that there are kind of mistakes that we're allowed to make, the kind of mistakes that can be easily erased and can be easily corrected.

But when we are on grade 4, we started using ballpen already, maybe they thought that we are old enough for our writings not to be too messy and not full of erasures. Though we can still make mistakes, correction tape is there to the rescue. But there's a con, yes, we can still correct it but the place where we make mistakes will still be visible and we will always be reminded of those mistakes.

That was still on elementary though, where our school supplies is still complete and we have correction tape for our mistakes. Until high school, actually. We still got that correction tape. But as we grow older, that seems to be not essential anymore. The mistakes we're making are irrevocable and once done, we can't do anything to take it back.

Like once you turn in and submit your exam on google form, your response cannot be edited anymore. And we really should be careful on these kinds of mistakes. Yes, they cannot judge us for making those kind of mistakes for we are allowed to do so but let's do it for ourselves, let's not make a mistake that we will regret.

Going back to what I've said above about mistakes that are still visible, I actually think that it is a good thing. It might look bad and it can ruin the neatness of the paper or the writings, however, it's nice to be reminded of the mistakes we have made so that it can be our guide to not do that ever again.

We are humans, we make mistakes, but let's not use that as a license to make more mistakes. Mistakes are essential for our growth but I don't think we are really growing if we keep doing the same mistakes over and over again. So, let us allow ourselves to grow by also allowing ourselves to make mistakes but at this time, let us always make sure that we learn from our every mistakes.


I feel like that I am overusing the word 'mistake' already. To end this, let me just repeat what I've said above, but shorter this time, of course.

We are humans and we are meant to make mistakes. Don't be too hard on yourself whenever you make mistakes because it is something that we can't escape. It is unavoidable and what we can only do about it is to learn from our mistakes and even from the mistake of others.

With that, allow me to end this with this saying: An intelligent man learns from his mistakes but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

Be wise! Make mistakes but make sure to learn from it. :)

Making mistakes is a requirement of being human, but persisting in the same mistake makes it not a mistake and intention is sought. We should consider mistakes and mistakes as good experiences and add them to our lives.

May mga professor na erasures means mistake, so dapat sure ka sa answers talaga. But humans as we are, I agree we make mistakes but making the same mistake again and again is no longer an excuse. I also like to write notes on paper rather than making it digital, mas easy mag remember. Good writing huh, ako ang kalat ng notes ko. hahaha

Buti nalang sa google form exam ngayon haha.

I remember yung blockmate ko nung f2f pa. Instruction kasi ay dapat written in all capital letters yung sagot. Nalimutan ko na tamang sagot suppose business yung right answer tas ang nasulat niya nga business, pero di niya nacapital letters pero ang ginawa niyang solution is "business is not the correct answer. BUSINESS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER" ang witty kang pero ayon, di pa din cinonsider ng prof sagot niya hahahaha

Madalang magnotes kasi tamad kaya inaayos na pag sinipag hajaha
