The Older The Better

I about middle age now. I make mistakes and I try to learn as much. Sometimes, I am in the middle of a mistake, I could not see it and I could not learn lesson from it there and then. I may realised the lesson and the mistake later, much later or sometime never.

Well that is pretty obvious huh...It happens all the time you might say. I will definately not be able to capture all the offerings. Will never will. It is just simply that we are human.

The idea is...

People say you should learn your own lesson. By that I think what they mean is, you have to go through it by yourself and make the mistakes, pay! the mistakes and learn the lesson.

Well I think that is about a fair statement for most of the time. Human do have to learn their own lesson. If not they wont be able to appreciate the lesson.But owwchhh...it can be painful most of the time.. to pay for the mistakes.

What am I getting at?

Well, I have made my fair share of mistakes and big mistakes..that you have to trust me and trust me, more are coming! definately and period!.I will make a lot of them in time and everyday.. why? because I am not going play it that prudent. I am going fast and I am going big!..why? I am ambitious and there is no fun in playing it too safe.

If my managers and my accountants are reading this.. they are going to start getting worried and oppss .. here he goes again...We are dead... we are going to be asked for more results and more results in shorter time...The boss is going nuts again...

All i am trying to say is that I am not going to let go the thrills and the good things that life is offering.Just in case you guys are reading this.. which I am sure you will.. I will tell you that I will always play it big and I always will play it rough...I want you guys to do the same too!.. But this time around, I will definately put you guys and the company sustainability in the equation. I will get it.. may be longer time.I will be a bit more prudent..I hope..hehehe

Ok...coming back to the topic..to learn from one own mistakes is a must and it is inevitable. Just that sometime ago, I realise that most people will definately learn a lot of lessons when they are pretty old!...So what? ..Nowadays, I look for the old and do more listening from the old..I ask them to tell me stories...I ask them if they dont mind, telling me, the things that they regret and the things that they were so grateful.. their experiences and etc.I am more interested in history and living history from the mouth of the living old.

I talk more to my father and mother, asking them questions. Listening to their past. Now I know why I got wacked all the times when I was little. I thank them for wacking me!
