Don’ be Afraid of Mistakes

For a long time, we teenagers are looking forward to the outside world. We always think about the excellent job and the friendly people we will meet. Unknown as they are, we firmly believe that they are always there, appearing sooner or later and helping us live a perfect live. With this sweet expectation about the future, we have grown up day by day, but only to find the huge difference beyond our expectation. We make mistakes and live an unhappy live.

Why there is such huge difference between fact and expectation? Teens are unwilling and positive to accept the fact. Couldn’t they change this situation? Personally, too much help from the parents constantly cause a lack of teens’ self-reliance and independence. On the other hand, teens’ lack of confidence and courage narrows themselves down to accept the mistakes they have made.

To be honest, parents play an important part in children’s lives because the power of examples is always much stronger than any words. Parents’ action will influence children’s behaviors unconsciously and easily. Did the parents accept ample outside help when they were teens? Most never . It’s their self-reliance and independence that encouraged themselves to carry on when they make mistakes even failed. It’s the never say-die attitude from the depth of their hearts that drove them to try again, Therefore, parents must be strict with teens, encourage them to try again and help them build a independent character. Just let them go and experience failure and success. If they make mistakes, let them make. Maybe the children would be hurt, but only experiencing the mistakes and correcting them will make their children more independent. What’s worth mentioning is that example is the most powerful thing rather than money and

too much help.

As for teens, when we make mistakes, should we stop attempting? Should we give up our dreams because of such one mistake? Clearly the answer is no. Life is an endless way with mistakes and the process of correcting mistakes. Every coin has two sides. We may lose something and become desperate when we make mistakes. However, making the lessons we learn from it inside our heart, we will be powerful enough to face the next new problem ahead of us. Greatly approved of this view, we should realize that mistakes are a part of our lives. Try to live with ourselves and don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Face them, experience them, love them and overcome them. If we lack confidence of face mistakes, stop going ahead and give up our beginning goal easily, how hopeless our world will be? Youth is the best gift god gives us. There is no reason to fear of making mistakes. All of us are able to correct mistakes, to experience our own lives, to control the fate of our own and beyond ourselves.

Objectively, parents shouldn’t offer too much help to children. Subjectively, teens are supposed to aware of the significance of mistakes. When take both two sides into reality, one man can live a real perfect life.
