Pearls of Wisdom

Blossoming In Life & memory

Memory is recognizing the experiences and storing it in the memory. Ever noticed the nature of the memory? It clings on to the negative. Life gives you hundred choices to be happy, and some 10 sad instances. But what does memory cling on to? Those few negative instances here and there! The memory is very strange! If you're given ten compliments and one insult, what will you remember the most?

 

Blessed are those who don't see a mistake as a mistake

Blessed are those who don't see a mistake as a mistake....!!! But it is hard not to see your own mistake. Outwardly, you may justify yourself or prove your innocence to someone else, but a mistake pricks a conscience. Do not justify yourself. Instead, feel the prick of the mistake. That very pinch will take you out of the mistake. A mistake means something that brings misery to you in the long run. So why would someone knowingly commit a mistake? While pointing out a mistake to someone, do you consider him as separate from you and go on pointing out his error or do you make him feel a part of you? When you point out a mistake to someone, does it make him more stressed, or does it create more awareness in that person? Often you do not point out someone's mistake when it is required. Not pointing out a mistake -- with due consideration to time and place -- is also a mistake. When you make a new mistake, it is not a mistake; you have learned a valuable lesson. But when you keep doing the same mistake over and over, it is a BIG mistake. A mistake simply means you have missed taking a lesson that has come your way. Do not lament over your mistake. Just take the lesson from it. You will not be judged by your mistakes, but by your virtues. Mistakes are of the earth. Virtues are of the Divine. Wise is the one who learns from other's mistakes. Less wise is the one who learns from his own mistakes. The fool keeps making the same mistakes again and again and never learns from them.
