Everyone Makes Mistakes, No Exceptions
Nobody’s perfect, and that includes me, you, and the rest of the people on this planet. I’m sure that you’ve always been advised to strive for perfection, but if you spent your whole life trying to be perfect, you would never get there. Don’t get me wrong here, it’s always good to try being the best at everything you do, just make sure that being perfect isn’t one of your goals. It’s human nature to make mistakes, and if we make mistakes, that means we are not perfect.
Since humans are bound to make mistakes, then I guess there’s no point in studying for exams and quizzes anymore, right? If you’re one of the people who thinks like that, then you’re a loser. What’s the point of doing something wrong when you’re just going to do it over and over again? The idea is for you to learn from your mistakes so you don’t make any in the future.
When I first started this blog, my primary goal was to become a millionaire gain as much experience possible from an early age. Part of gaining experience is making mistakes and learning from them. That was one of the things I excelled excellently at 
. I made so many mistakes that I began thinking that I was right and everyone else was wrong.
At first, I would reply back with nasty comments to those who had insulted me, even though it was my fault in the first place. Over time, I began to accept the fact that it was me who was wrong, and not the rest of the internet. I realized that by replying back with negative comments, I was only making it worse; so I took a different path. Instead of taking the negative comments as insults, I started taking them as guidelines, good suggestions, and the best motivation boosts I could get.
Just because I have made a few mistakes and learned a couple of things from them, that doesn’t mean I’ve become perfect. I’m not even close to being perfect. As long as you make mistakes, you will learn, but remember, that no matter how much you learn, there will always be possibilities for new mistakes.
The best thing you could do to someone after he has insulted you, is apologize back to him, even if you didn’t do anything in the first place. I would rather make a new friend and gain a potential reader than make an enemy and risk harming my reputation.
What are some mistakes you have made online and how did you fix them?

Exact things followed by me Rajaie,(didn’t abuse/insult people through comment though).I guess i have learnt from my mistakes and also I am ready to rectify some more mistakes which I will do in my current blogging career.
No one can climb success throught books or suggestions,it is the effort that makes success really possible.While giving efforts people commit mistakes.I believe Failures/mistake are the doorways in climbing the success peak!!
I still remember this beautiful lines by Shiv khera from book YOU CAN WIN
“Winners don’t do different things,they do the same things differently..” !!!!
The last line from SID was perfect.
Well, winners are those who learn from mistakes and don’t blame destiny for their failures. I have also done many mistakes in past like SPAMMING on forums, unintentionally and due to ignorance, but I have learned from them and still learning.
Life is a never ending learning process.

I agree with you. Try to be perfect and you will not achieve anything. Well I always love to leave nice comments on blogs. I have never got any rude or insulting comments.Though I got a bad reviews on my blog from a blogger but I replied to him politely and cleared all his doubts.
hi rajaie, a very good post, its realy inspiring.. yes everybody makes mistakes… even me too .. my english was bit lousy.. i made gramatical mistakes here there… now i am improving a lot… Btw you blogs gr8.. and all the best for your success
@Rockstar Sid, great quote at the bottom
@Swastik, same here, I used to spam forums to get some results, but I think I have learned my lesson. Although, it’s just like you said, life is a never ending learning process
@Agent 001, that’s how everyone should deal with negative and rude comments; by replying politely
@Nicholas Francis, thank you
Ah! Thanks fo appreciating the line guyz!!
I didn’t understand how you people spammed,I mean I say about my blog in forums (That isnt spamming ) for feedbacks/ideas and suggestions.
I still believe Spamming as a kind of different marketing (Though I don’t spam)..
Anyone can explain how you spammed different places ???
@rockstar sid spamming really varies.. at some point its considered as blackhat and in some its not… quadzilla relates it to seo… he believes seo and web spamming iis synonymous at a certain point…
@rajaie, i cant add anything.. btw, thanks for fixing my theme…
@Rockstar Sid, what I mean is signing up on forums and making multiple threads in every category that only contain links to your site.
@Melvin, enjoy the blue links
well said also, mistakes are necessary for the learning step
I never make mistakes.
And if I did, I certainly wouldn’t admit to them … that would be a mistake!
@ken-G, of course, without mistakes, we would never learn.
@Forrest, I’m sure you made at least one tiny mistake throughout your lifetime
As long as I learn from my mistakes, I will have no problem admitting to them.
Hi Rajaie,
I love this post of yours. It shows how to take a negative and turn it into a positive. You did it well, and are all that much smarter, and ahead of others who would let negative comments affect their blogging experience.
@Barbara Swafford, thank you
The faster you get up after a knock out , the faster you move to knock your opponent..
Hey WebTrafficROI,
The faster you learn from your mistakes and seek to correct them, the faster you will be at becoming successful!
That’s a great simile (or is it an analogy?)
What's Your Take?
