Arquimedes Machado
In every project we are involved in, be
it personal or professional, we normally devote a considerable amount of time
and effort to comply with the due date.

Have you ever experienced this
situation? You are engrossed in a project, and suddenly you make a mistake and
realize that you had made it before. In my case, that makes me wonder why I am
reliving the same situation over again. If this is not my first time, why do I
make the same mistake twice?
The answers to these questions have to
do with the project’s environment and the staff involved. From my point of view,
this happens because you did not learn
what you had to. Consequently, life puts you back in similar (or identical)
situations to learn the lesson. I truly
believe that learning from a mistake depends on the person´s reaction to it.
The first thing to do is to accept
your mistake. To face responsibility is a step that deserves applause. We are so used to regarding mistakes negatively,
that when we make a mistake, we frequently refuse to recognize it. Instead, we
blame others and have pointless discussion, with the only aim of being free
from blame.
Analyzing our mistakes is not about listing
the bad things, possible punishments or feeling guilty because something went
wrong. The point is, to learn from them,
to improve as a person and to avoid falling into the same hole again.
It is said that the only responsible
person from a bad situation is you and you are the one who has the power to turn
it around. To believe in this will help us recognize our mistakes and think
about what we have to learn, evaluate, change and improve.
