Day 17
There is a very powerful NLP Presupposition `there is no such thing as failure, only feedback'. Failures and mistakes teach us much more than success and correct actions could teach. As we carry on our various activities, we may commit mistakes and there could be slips. Error is human.
Like you carry an idea book, why not jot down at least one mistake you did every day. For example, `today, I shouted at my colleague unnecessarily', ` I forgot to charge my cell phone and went through a crisis and tension unnecessarily', ` I misplaced my air ticket and searched for it with hardly an hour left for the flight departure' etc.
The main advantage of this exercise is the fact that you will develop the attitude to notice small mistakes and this is a very important trait in great people. Not only that. Since you will become so sensitive to such mistakes, you will become very careful at a very unconscious level. This mindset is a good insulator of mistakes. You ability to get into the nitty-gritty details will improve.
Try this from today!
