Have you ever reflected why it is important to forgive yourself?
Is making mistakes a terrible thing?
It is part of human nature to make mistakes. Many times it happen that some of us look at mistakes as something that we should not have done. Or it is something that we should prevent from happening. This perspective can lead us to feel emotions such as anger, guilt, and shame. If we can learn how to forgive ourselves; this can help us to let these emotions go. It is necessary for us to make enough mistakes because when we reflect on our mistakes we can understand ourselves better. We can become better critical thinkers. By forgiving ourselves we can not only move on in life but also continue to grow.
What do you think is the most difficult sport to play?
Some people are big fan of sports whereas others not so much. Regardless of whether or not if you like to play or watch any sport, have you ever thought what the most difficult sport to play is? It is a question which is for sure debatable. If I were to make a list of the most difficult sports to play I would put archery as one of them. Because I do feel that it might be easy to learn archery but it is difficult to master it as you have to be extremely precise to hit the target each time. It requires a great skill practice and fine body control.
If I want to master at archery I will be making many mistakes and I will not be getting the target every time I shoot the arrow. The best way for me to master it would be first to believe in myself regardless of how many times I miss my target; and secondly if I reflect on my mistakes I can find out what is it which is going wrong.
Learning is a crucial part of life. In order for us to grow we have to learn about ourselves. Dig deep into ourselves. If we shift the focus from we made a mistake to taking few minutes to think and reflect on why we do what we do. We can learn about our own selves. To accept ourselves as who we are; we would have to forgive ourselves and believe in ourselves.
Did you know that zero was once banned in Florence, Italy?
Zero has been a popular number since the ancient times. It is part of the Arabic number system (0, 1,2,3...10) which is still used today across the world. When the Christians in Europe begun to crusade against Islam, any Arab idea was viewed negative including the mathematical ones. In the 1299, in Florence, Italy, all the Arabic numbers were banned including zero because zero was seen as a dangerous number which can lead to fraud. Later the Arabic numbers were accepted in Florence including zero.
In our lives sometime we not only underestimate ourselves; we do not realize our real value. When people around us tell us false things about ourselves we believe them. When in reality we should believe in ourselves.
Zero is the most powerful number in the history. The true value of zero is zero, which is nothing. However it makes a big difference to any number that is added to it. Say you have one billion dollars which is written as $1,000,000,000. If you take all the zeros out, all you are left with is $1.
We need to know our true value. If we change the perspective about ourselves...say we think of ourselves as just one person who does not has the power to make a big difference. We will be making a big mistake. If we recognize our true value we can then also see the difference we can make to our own lives and to others.
