Taking the risk, the art of learning from mistakes and failures.

Taking the risk. A clever man once told my brother who then told me that a successful man fails his way to success. If only failure was that easy... Doing badly at things will evoke feelings of disappointment frustration and even anger (ie.a result repressed emotions).

The trick in life is to challenge yourself, and learn from your mistakes. If you risk long enough and stumble fast enough, you eventually get to where you wanted to go. It's true that relentless attempts of experimenting and genuine efforts to improve once's self will ensure that any skill can be greatly improved. Off course situational circumstances, timing an a factor of luck, has a lot to play in your end result.

The ability of risk taking has also been linked to our personality traits. And the behaviour of people are closely related genetics and social factors. Even though you're born with less than others doesn't doom you to a life of unhappiness. There is still a personal choice to take what you have and convert into the best you can be. Disregarding the need to negatively compare yourself with others will reduce insecurities. Learn from people that are better than you. It's a blessing that you recognize talent - as this judgement allows you to create role models that you can learn from.

Risk taking is key to experiencing new things, and be honest with yourself ie. don't fool yourself because you want something sooooo much. Learn learn learn. Be kind to others as one day others may be kind to you.
