Looking without seeing

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one."
Elbert Hubbard


I am writing this post with my keyboaed covered by a piece of paper. The paper covers thkeyboard and fingers to test our keyboading skills. It is all about trusting our own skill ability. This is a regular exercise for class. We are testing efficiency without relying on a vackspace button to delete errors.


Okay, I took the paper away but, the activity made me think a little bit about life. It applies to life in a way. So easily, we go through life hesitantly, looking for ways to "cheat" and assuming that we will have a way to delete our errors the way that a backspace button does. Because life does not have a backspace button, it is important to "proof read" things. What I'm trying to say is that we should all try to make wise decisions because you can't get rid of every mistake in life.


My job for us all: THINK before you act, but do not let your fear of making mistakes hold you back.
