My Diary: Making Mistake

I want to dedicate my life to doing something meaningful for art and humanity.

I am well aware that I am not perfect—neither my language nor my art, nor I myself. But I always strive to do my best. Life on earth has never been easy for me, but none of us is born skilled or knowledgeable. We all learn and grow by doing.

I understand that I might make many mistakes when I try to create something new. I also believe that if I try, I can achieve my best work. That is why I am not afraid of making small mistakes. If I let the fear of mistakes hold me back, I would never be able to start, and that would mean never reaching the goals I have set for my life.

When it comes to making mistakes, I think that if I make one and realize it—or if someone else points it out—I can then find a way to fix it. I also believe that if I make a mistake, I am the one responsible for correcting it.

This is my definition of a mistake:

A mistake is the outcome of an event or action that went wrong, often due to misunderstanding, accidents, or unconscious decisions.

I am sure that I have made some grammatical errors in the sentences above or below because I am a beginner and not a native English speaker. I am just trying to share my thoughts with you in my own words. If I were afraid of making mistakes, my thoughts would remain untold.

If you notice any mistakes in my writing, whether grammatical or otherwise, please let me know. I truly appreciate it, as it will help me improve my English.

I am always grateful when someone helps me or does something kind for me.

If someone criticizes me, I take it seriously. If I find their criticism reasonable, I accept it; otherwise, I simply ignore it. I believe this is true for everyone—we learn by making mistakes, and constructive criticism motivates us to move forward.
