Mistakes and failures are bound on happen in our journey called life. Handling mistakes and failures is a critical life skill, which is often not emphasised enough. Children and young adults are taught about what they should or should not do. However, very few children are blessed to have been taught how to handle mistakes and failures. And often it is from hardships they learn their lessons. Question is whose responsibility would it be to teach the current or next generation on how to handle mistakes and failures. Schools? Teachers? Parents? Friends ? Life ? Or all? If yes to any one of these, how many of us were taught about handling mistakes and failures? I do not recollect anyone teaching me about handling mistakes and failures. There were few who suggested to take the route of lie and deceit in order to avoid admitting mistakes and failures. Then, with life I learnt it is better to admit the mistakes and failures and take the responsibilities. It was painful for some of the failures, for some it was the best route I took and face head on head with failure. In my case, it has been the life experience that taught me to handle mistakes and failures. So , whom do you think should be teaching us on how to handle mistakes and failures ?
