Don't be bothered by mistakes.

by 김용년


Don't be bothered by mistakes and criticism.


Don't be tormented by your own mistakes, and don't be hurt by the criticism of others.


When I was young, I saw my father ponder after receiving a business proposal from a person. After much deliberation, my father sold the last piece of land he owned and started the business he was offered. The business ended in failure, and my father suffered for a long time. We lost all our possessions, and our house started getting foreclosure tickets. From then on, my father couldn't bear the pain and started drinking, and my family also suffered. At that time, even as a child, I felt scared. When I became an adult, I realized how much money it was. I was so sorry for my father's failure.


In my life, I made many mistakes, big and small. I too have made mistakes in my investments. I made hasty decisions and acted. I found out my mistake over time. But it's already too late. I had trouble sleeping, regretted, and suffered. Then I remembered my father, and I came to understand his heart a little. I was suffering, but suffering did not change the situation at all. At last I realized that suffering was foolish.


We cannot grow without making mistakes.


Don't be too distressed over mistakes that have already been made. No one in this world lives perfectly without mistakes. It is normal to learn and grow through mistakes. Be careful not to let your mistakes get in the way of your growth. Your mistakes can be stepping stones to growth if you learn from them.


Whether a mistake becomes a stumbling block or a stepping stone depends on our choice. Life is always full of new challenges and trial and error. Through trial and error, we discover and grow our abilities and our limitations. Rather than suffering from our mistakes, we should learn from them and grow.


And don't be easily offended by criticism from others. Don't be too hurt by what people say about you without knowing much about you. The fact that you are criticized is also proof that what you are doing is going well. If you think your direction is right, don't be too conscious of others' eyes and go your way with confidence. When the truth comes out over time, people's criticism will return to you as praise.


We all experience some degree of criticism in our lifetime. Perhaps you too have been criticized by others at one time or another. When you are criticized, the way you respond to criticism is important. If you are not easily hurt by the criticism of others and can look at the criticism of others in a positive way, it becomes a necessary foundation for your growth.


We must deal with the criticism of others with courage.


Criticism can also be a great opportunity to develop our abilities. Criticism from others can make up for weaknesses or loopholes that we didn't even think about. If we don't react emotionally to criticism from others and if we respond with a cool and positive attitude, we can grow and achieve greater success.


We need the wisdom to use mistakes and criticism as stepping stones to our growth.
