What have you noticed?

If you noticed I was wrong at the last part, maybe you'll need these words.

Out of 10 items, there's only one thing that is wrong. In relation to real life, it is so easy for us people to point out mistakes without even acknowledging all the right ones or the good things.

We tend to overlook the good things and just focus our attention on the wrong ones, on the mistakes. And that's not a good attitude.

As humans, we're phrone to making mistakes so let's give ourselves and others a room to make mistake and before we point out the negative things, let's not forget to acknowledge the good thing that they have done.

Always see the good side in everything.

We are allowed to makes mistakes but that doesn't mean that we can't correct it.

Me, saying 9×10=91 doesn't mean that I don't really know the right answer. There's a lot of reason why we can make mistakes.

Maybe it's just a typographical error, maybe I just overlooked it, maybe I'm just so tired and sleepy already that I unknowingly made a mistake. Maybe I did it on purpose to knock some sense to all of us.

Making mistakes doesn't make us dumb. Making mistakes is part of life. Our mistakes doesn't define us.

At the end of the day, what's important is that we learned from those mistakes and that we won't be able to do it again because the next time we're in the situation like before, we already learned our lesson and we are smarter enough not to repeat the same mistakes.

What I'm saying is that we shouldn't judge someone just because of his mistake. It doesn't work that way. What we can do is to tell it to them, give them room for improvement and allow them to correct it.

Let's not be someone who's blind about the good and when it's bad, from having 500 eye grade, our vision suddenly comes back to 20/20.

It's just one mistake and it doesn't show the whole picture.

As I end this, let me say these words again:

• You are human
• You're allowed to make mistakes
• Don't be too hard on yourself
• Give youself a room for mistakes
• Give yourself a room for improvement
• Appreciate the good things first
• Focus on the good things
• Acknowledge the good things
• Know that mistakes cannot be undone but we can definitely do better on the next time.

There's a lot more that I can say but I'm sure you already get the thought. So go on people, stay postive, get your focus on the good side. It is nice to notice and point out mistakes only when our intention is to improve and not to laugh about others people mistakes.

As I finally end this, let me correct my previous mistake.

Let me say that maybe I'm just really sleepy that I overlooked it. But good thing, I reread it again before I post it and then I saw that 9×10=90 and not 91.

You see, I did made a mistake but on the next try, I was able to finally correct it. And that's because a mistake doesn't have to remain as mistake forever. We have our whole lifetime to make mistake, to learn and to improve.

My 11 year old niece told me about this math thing earlier and it makes a lot of sense. I thought that this is something that is worth sharing so here you go. I hope that we all learned something from this.

I was just about to post it on my noise.cash account but I realized that I can make it a little longer and turned it into a full article. Hopefully, it's long enough for me to share all my thoughts about this certain thing.

Thanks for reading this far. Spread positivity, goodness and kindness. Take care!
