People are afraid to commit mistakes, afraid of letting the world know that they failed. Sometimes we keep it to ourselves and cry silently till our hearts burn. Sometimes we try to blame others just to cover up the pain that we feel. I guess that's not what God wants us to do.
I always believe that failures give us something to learn. Learning in the sense that we can overcome problems that made us stumble in the ground. It gives us the courage to stand again after a deep fall. It gives us a reason to laugh over our weaknesses, to smile over our mistakes, and to recognise every possibility to succeed.
"As long as I'm alive, I still have a chance!", I always tell that to myself. It's very hard to do, but I always try. I always tell my self that "Excellence does not require Perfection". Excellence requires conviction to what you believe in. Excellence requires courage to face every fear. Excellence requires passion in what you do. And Excellence requires deep faith in your self and most specially to God , almighty.
So Let's erase "perfection" in our lives... We can't achieve it, no matter what we do. Let's accept that we're human, born to make mistakes, just like what the song says. Let's try to tell our selves, "I did great, I did alot of mistakes, and I think I'm well fulfilled!".... ciao...
