All of us make mistakes. Yes we do...almost in every walk of our lives. Remember what Dhoni quoted in one of those ads? He said, "Make your own mistakes yaar...why copy others?" :) In the induction ceremony in Yale, one of the professors told my brother's batch, "It is all right if you are the dumbest in the class. But you need to keep making sure that you are learning." The earlier you make them in your lives, the better. This is because, as you move to the second quarter of life, your number of mistakes will come down considerably. Experiences play a very important part of our lives. Nothing teaches us better that one strong dose of good/bad experience. During one of my very few "nothing to do" afternoons, I had come up with this :)
The biggest mistake I made yesterday? I mishandled my CAT scratch card. The result: I had to go down to the bank, stand the longest ten minutes of my life so far, in the queue and repeat the whole process of application. The fact the I had to spend another Rs 1400/- was what made those ten minutes even longer. The carelessness in my attitude that I had yesterday was missing when I woke up today morning :)
Well this is familiar stuff ,have ended up spending the extra money so many times.Going to the bank and repaying the amount pinches even more ,waiting in the Q
