Ever Wrong
As human beings, we certainly cannot be separated from mistakes. For some people, mistakes can be a lesson in their life or mistakes can only be insignificant in their life. So, what is the correct option? Mistakes cannot be avoided completely apart from Allah’s destiny. Sometimes humans are indeed given difficulties so that they make mistakes with the maximum effort they can make. But some make mistakes because they do not know. Which one do you belong to?
Someone who had a mistake should reflect for a moment to admit his/her mistake. After he/she realized he/she had made a mistake, his/her next reflection was how to rise from adversity and be strong, so that in the future he/she would make up for his/her mistakes with greater effort. Why with greater effort? Of course, that is the price that must be paid because of his/her mistakes yesterday.
But you do not need to worry, you just need to try to be better than yesterday, not try to be better than other people. Whatever your effort, the result is on yourself. Don’t ignore your past 100%, look at it occasionally to be able to make a strategy in the future. Your past is yours, no one else. Use it wisely not as an excuse to give up. Failing doesn’t mean you have to stop, maybe you are told to try even harder.
