Learning from Mistakes

Mistakes are what makes you, it separates the great ones from the good. I have read somewhere that failures are actually the foundation for success. As long as we keep on learning from our previous wrong turn and exert effort to avoid them from future occurrence, we are on the right track. The truth is there are always lessons learned from history. Events in our past are helpful as a guide for reflection. It opens our eyes to the reality that life is not perfect at all. And that we are just but humans with flaws and not infallible. We have to constantly grow and learn from our life experiences. There is nothing wrong from failing in class, facing rejection in job interviews, falling due to dance practices, committing poor decisions. At some point in our life, we experience such things. By not repeating the same mistakes twice the price of failing has come into fruition.

Great men avoid complaining, whining and blaming. They rise above circumstances no matter how grim, impossible and slim their chances of success are. To them human potential is limitless, no boundaries; everything is possible and that nothing can block them from reaching their dreams. These same men are not perfect. In fact, they may even have committed thousands of mistakes more than the average individual. They tried a thousand times more, they failed but they ultimately learned and succeeded. [ Consider the life of Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Manny Pacquiao and many great leaders, athletes and personalities]

We may not have all the solution to every problems in the universe but we have all the time to discover what works and what doesn't. From every poor decisions we have done in the past lies a greater opportunity for learning. By changing our strategies and not repeating the same errors for the second time, we have leveled up by a notch. Continuously enhancing our skills, talents and recipe to success (all the while making mistakes), will propel us nearer to achieving our aspirations. Just act and do. Be confident to the inner voice saying, "You can do it! You may have fears but just try and try". Conquer that self-doubt and handle rejection plus failures confidently. 

With continuous effort to succeed, coupled by persistence and diligence you will become GREAT, and I should be the first to Congratulate you for reaching the pinnacle of your life. Share what you have!

Living Life One Step at a Time

Image
Where there times when you feel like you're not accomplishing something important? As if all the things that you are doing doesn't worked out as plan. Sometimes you wish to become triplet so that you can hit three stones at the same time in different places. But you are also aware that it's just not possible and crazy as it may sound, you are secretly hoping that Science will find a way to triplicate ourselves. In a time when 24-hours is simply not enough, having a clear focus is important. Prioritizing the most significant and urgent things in life is a great skill that must be embedded in our self. Saying NO to the useless, time-consuming activities that are sometimes draining is good for yourself. When the pressure to achieve more to be the best in class, in work, in sports and in so many other areas is pressing, living one life at a time is truly a rewarding  choice. So how are we going to accomplish this. I am suggesting you to use the following strategies: 1. Pr...

Understanding Autonomic Pharmacology: A Short Essay (Part 1 of 2)

by: Archimedes O. Bayquen, RPh, MPH The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has been described many years ago as a division of the peripheral nervous system. It is subdivided into Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest, Conservative and Restorative function) and the Sympathetic (fight, flight, fright, stress response). The Enteric Nervous system is also a division of the ANS consisting of Myenteric or Auerbach plexus and submucous/Meissner’s plexus. The ANS is involuntary, automatic, unconscious response. Think of whenever you breathe and whenever your heart is beating. You don’t utilize your conscious control to initiate and sustain their function as they do their job independently without your control even when you are at sleep.Most of the organs in our body are dually innervated by both branches. Only very few are not—worth mentioning are the sympathetic cholinergic sweat glands in the skin and the blood vessels. Let us very briefly take a look at how these two systems differ. In ter...

Bakit Kailangang Lumaban?

Minsan sa ating buhay, darating tayo sa puntong hindi na natin kaya ang bigat na ating nararamdaman. Sisigaw tayo, iiyak ng taimtim, papatak ang maraming luha, magtatanong kung may nakakaunawa, at maaring mag-iisip na wakasan na ang lahat. Mahirap maging "tao", mahirap ang mga balakid at problema pero sana atin ding maisip na posible itong masolusyonan.  Galing ako sa isang mahirap na pamilya ; walang trabaho ang aking ina at ang ama ko nama'y farmer lamang. Mahirap ang aking naging buhay, hindi naging madali mawalan ng baon para makapasok sa eskwela. Hindi madaling umiyak dahil wala ka ng pamasahe or pambayad ng matrikula. Minsan kong naitanong kung bakit napakatanga ng aking mga magulang, kung bakit wala silang pera at hindi nila kayang maibigay ang aming mga pangangailangan. Nakapagtapos ako sa isang public school ng elementary at sekondarya. Sa katunayan, class salutatorian ako sa Special Science Class ng isang National High School sa amin. Kahit sa sobrang hi...
