Of mistakes and learning

It is a common fact that people learn from mistakes. If this concept were not around, the world would not have progressed into the Modern age of today. But, sometimes, it makes one wonder as to whether Mistakes are necessary for people who want to learn about life. From simple tasks to the most complex of things, i often wonder as to how come a mistake becomes a stepping stone to greater success.

When an Apple fell on Isaac Newton's head by mistake, the theory of Gravity was formulated. There are several more cases like that, the only reason of not highlighting all is because this post is not a historical data on events of Science. The human mind is so fickle and sometimes so prone to lapses that human beings often make things very difficult for them. A simple task is made complex and vice versa. What can be that reason?

Perhaps one of the reasons could be anxiety. The urge to get work done without any hassles is one prime factor. Also, the fact that nowadays, people have no time to do many things makes this aspect more profound. Anticipation of Hassles and No spare time make the concept of mistakes common place. One of the reasons why this concept is more acceptable is because it is now widely acknowledged.

Many people say that we do learn from mistakes because down the way, we become more aware and make our mind take extra precautions. People become much more careful in what they do, and automatically, the mind creates time for these activities to be checked. All in all, mistakes might work in some cases, but this concept should not be looked on as a necessary observation.

The saying goes that Not all is same for people. Experience of one varies with that of another, leaving a million possible interpretations to this concept. However, for the common, average man, this could be a way of life, fortunately or unfortunately, it is upto deliberation
