Miss - Take

How many of have not made any mistakes in life??
I guess none!!!

In my opinion, we should all understand mistake as a "Miss - take". Just like there are a number of takes in a  movie where you can rectify defects and blunders, so is the case with our life.. Those with a good years of experience would agree with me when I say this. There's no question that has no answer, no problem that has no solution and absolutely nothing that can not be set right after a goof - up.

Off late have seen the best and worst sides of life.. The pretty and ugly facets showed themselves together and I took it as a challenge.. This can be credited to a few lessons that I've learnt during my school and college.

My first lesson was from school where an eraser was used to rectify errors. When pen replaced a pencil, whitener replaced the eraser but there still was something that could correct the answers.

Second lesson was completed when I realized that our teachers take exams at the end of every year, grade us accordingly as to how much we've learnt and promote us to the next class. Exact mechanism works with life - we have new hurdles and our abilities help us get to the next level.

The nicest lesson came with an adventurous rafting experience. The instructor gave us necessary cautions and tips after which we started off. A little ahead he told us to jump in the water and float. We were caught by surprise when he told us that the water was 80 feet deep. Once we'd all jumped into the deep waters, he told us that a crocodile may be wandering around. After getting on the rafts, we enthusiastically moved further. The journey was rocky at times and a smooth sail at other times but that journey was fun!! All of us came out drenched in the cold waters with an experience of our lives!!

We have parents and family to guide us, advise us, but we have to make it to move on our own tracks. Fears, worries and impediments will come but they will only increase our zest to reach the destination. Life is indeed not a smooth sail but however events turn out, at the end of it all, it is an experience!

So Laugh, cry, play, fight, lose, win, dance, sing, be sane, go mad... Do whatever keeps you going. Make choices without regret, never lose confidence in self and remember we succeed even after we fail, make Miss- takes but make sure the next take helps you move ahead!!!

Cheers!!
God Bless!!
