Sometimes its heard to own up to your own mistakes. I know that when I make a mistake sometimes I blame someone else. Like when I am looking for something I need and I ask my mom where it is. Even though I am not entirely sure she has it I blame her for losing it. Then, three minutes later I find it sitting on my desk in my room. Since I do not like to admit I was wrong I say that she put it there when i know that she did not.After a while I apologize for accusing her of losing it. I makes me feel kind of stupid when I find it in an obvious place because I feel I should have seen it when I looked the first time. When I do confront my mistake making it actually makes me feel better because I feel as though I taking responsibility for myself and I feel that in the future I will not lose stuff so easily or blame people so easily.

ReplyDeleteThe way i would face the reality of making a mistake is by learning from them. One of the bigest ways of learning in life is mistakes that you do and mistakes from other people. The best thing to do is not let your mistake catch up to you. You should apologize and dont put yourself down, look foward from there, and dont make the same mistake again in the future. That is the way i would confront the reality of making a mistake and at the same time maintaing a postive self-esteem.

ReplyDeleteWhen I make mistakes I almost always blame somebody else for them. I refuse to take the blame myself, and it gives me satisfaction that it was not me but someone else that did it. This may be a wrong way to go about things, but it is how I work. I maintain my self-esteem by not allowing it to even remotely phase me. By the time it happens, it is already the past and I let it go. If I hang onto things, it is just going to get worse. So i drop the subject all together and I move onto something else. If it comes up again though, I will likely not make the same mistake. I'd rather make another one!
So... I do not recognize my mistakes, and I leave them in the past in order to maintain my self-esteem.

ReplyDeleteWhen I make mistakes I always know that it is my fault. I will always try my best to fix what is wrong and make it right. If I tried my hardest to fix it, but if I can not then I accept it. I maintain my self esteem by moving on because I will not allow it to control my life. Everyone makes mistakes and nobody is perfect we learn not from our own mistakes but through others too. When I make mistakes I continue to learn from them. If I do not make them how will I learn to become a better person and face reality.
i make mistakes a lot. when i know that i am wrong and have made a mistake i'll usually admit it. but when i think and am determined that i am right i will think of facts to prove that i didn't make a mistake. i rarely blame other people, but that happens sometimes. my self-esteem isn't the highest to begin with, but i don't think making a mistake effects my self-esteem. my favorite thing to do when i make a mistake is to laugh it off. i mean who cares, everyone makes them.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is I make mistakes like everybody but I maintain my self-esteem because I take criticism and use it as a tool to better myself. For example, if I use the wrong technique in football and the coach calls me out on it and corrects it I am not going to be down on myself; I am going to learn from it and correct it so it never happens again. Making a mistake is going to happen. It is important that you don’t make the same mistake twice and show some progress that you have improved on the original fault.

ReplyDeleteThe reality is that everyone makes mistakes. It's a part of life and you just have to learn how to except it and move on from them. You can learn from your mistakes too. I do for sure learn from my mistakes and it makes me stronger. It brings up my self-esteem only because i know i can do better and i won't make the same mistake again, hopefully. I live and learn and that is all part of life.
The reality of it is that no one is prefect or ever will be. So it is ok to make mistakes as long as your conforable with the outcome of it all. NO matter what you do you can always do better so try your best and if you get stuck along the way just remember everyone does too. Also once you accept yourself and be ok with making a mistake you can still be confident in yourself and stand your ground. Dont ever get yourself down over making a mistake learn from it and make yourself a better person. Everyone makes mistakes its all a part of life.

The way to confront the reality of mistakes is to realize that mistakes happen and nobody is perfect. We learn what works and doesn't work and how we can succeed. I maintain my self-esteem by reminding myself that mistakes are a part of life. When i realize that i have made a mistake, i try to find a way to make sure that I never make that mistake again. I try not to get upset over mistakes because they are a part of life but when if i ever do make a really big mistake I juft focuss on fixing it and not dweling on the past. I can't changed what happened but I can change the way it affects my life .

I make a mistake at least like five times a day. I usually get upset at first but then i look at the positives and try to see if i can get anything out of what i did wrong. I like to think that i have a high self esteem and i catch myself every once in awhile being cocky, so when I make a mistake its kinda a good thing cause it knocks me down a few pegs. The best way to confront the reality of making mistakes and keeping good self esteem is to realize that whatever you did wrong it always could have been worse and if I do something really horrible I just tell myself its not the end of the world and I'm better for it in the long run.
