One can gain experience from failures only which occur due to mistakes. 7 Common mistakes in our Personality: 1. The delusion: The individual’s advancement should be made by crushing down the others. But it is a wrong notion. 2. The tendency to worry unnecessarily about the things that can’t be changed or corrected. We can‘t make the dog’s tail straight. 3. Unnecessary arguments: Insisting that a thing is impossible, because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. Nothing is impossible in this world. 4. Short sighted look: Refusing to set aside trivial things, so that important things may be accomplished. 5. Mentality of ‘’I know everything’’: They are of the habit of neglecting development and refinement of the mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and study. 6. Attempting to compel others to do those things which they do not like to do. 7.

They are:1. Who am I?2. Why I came to this world?3. What has to be achieved by me?If you could get answers to the above questions, then you stop thinking in these terms as below:1. Somebody said about me like this and that.That person did not answer to my enquiry or to my questions. By hook or crook I must my strength to them and teach them a lesson.Our life goes on depending on circumstances. Certain troubles are common in life, but you enjoy the every minute of life given by the Almighty - GOD.So do not go on worrying about minor ailments and spoil your life. The meaning of human being is filling happiness in the mind. Nothing will give trouble to us provided we have strong faith and loving others feeling in us.As everything available in this universe is not sweet, like that all our experiences are not good in nature.
