Mistakes?


Why do you think we need an eraser?
It is because we make mistakes.
The important thing is when we make mistakes, erase them, and try again; don't feel ashamed of making mistakes - everybody makes mistakes(even teachers).
My Question is ; Why are we so afraid of making mistakes?

Hi, Kelly.
Your questions is kind of tough, and make me think about myself.
There have been many mistakes I have ever made. Some are big, some are miscellaneous. I thnk it is natural for us to make mistakes.
Instead I don't feel frustrated , I try to modify it to the right way. Anyway your question is the reason ~~~~. Maybe they don't want to lose their face in public, or they want to meet other's expectation . It is really philosophic.

Hey, Kelly.
Yes, we are human beings, so it is natural for us to make some mistakes. But, you know, Koreans are not accustomed to make mistakes in public. It is an example of socialization. In other societies, they are not afraid of making mistakes in front of other people.
Anyway, we can fix mistakes we made.All we have to do is doing the best as much as we can!!
Cya!! :)

Right, we make mistakes becasue we are not God, and we forgive ourselves and try to make it better next time. I think this is the beauty of living.
If we do all things perfect, maybe "things" are not interesting to us.
We become better while doing some changes to the way alreaday it is.

Hi, Kelly, It's been long time to reply your question. It's very good and useful question to me. This following passage may lead a kind of my reply.There would be better for being regetful about something done than regretful something not having done. We are trained not having mistake in doing something. I think It's the problem we have made. How should we have a good boyfriend? Absolutely, we should have so many opportunity to make mistakes to do that. It's the answer.

Hi Kelly,
What an interesting question. I wonder if our shame is related to our ego. When we make mistakes we could feel less than our perseption of ourselves...hmmm, I'll have to think more about that. Good attitude...go to Arizona a make lots of mistakes :)
