30+? Name one mistake you did to help others

[caroasi]

Helping neighbors with money when all they really needed was a little bit of time here and there was a mistake, but part of life's happy mistakes. I tried helping with money, it didn't work. But I was also helping with time, and that did.

Staying at your comfort zone for long, not thinking of leaving your comfort zone to explore in other places. The mistake a young man or lady would do is staying in their comfort zone because it is rossy for them without wanting to hustle in other places, to have a other taste of life on what it feels to hustle in a land far away from home.

Another mistake of life is, being judgemental about people way of life, without knowing about their life stories on what prompted the character they display.

Very dangerous mistake that seems not to be a mistake!!
Being stucked in the head rolling around the comfortables (comfort zone) waiting for a perfect time that does not really exist when In reality, becoming expert at something is by consistently practicing which means meeting different challenges and different people likewise.

To all men and women of 30+, please name
one mistake you made in your life to guide
others from repeating it. Life is full of so much
experiences and inexperiences. There are so many
mistakes in a life time. Painfully, some of these
mistakes are repeatabl

Thinking that I would get a job immediately after
graduation from the high institution
Which seems like a fairy-tale based on nationality
and geographical location secondly.
Being afraid of doing mistakes is another mistake
I made

There should have been other bigger mistakes than this because to me I don't see a mistake there because there wasn't anything lost but on the contrary what you think is a mistake can give you a destiny helper, however a lot of the things I could have gotten wasn't because of mistake but it was because of not getting advanced to the minimum years they needed on the job so I just had to watch others having the job. Then the mistake I had wish to be corrected if not that is not possible is the acquisition of property because in my country is lucrative so i missed a lot of them without thinking about the future.

Comfort zone is the burial ground of great destinies. Some young men in their twenties and thirties still depend on their parents for survival. They prefer to live in their parent's home and also depend on their parents for feeding and other needs. Instead of going out to look for jobs, regardless of how small, they prefer to be a liability.

A comfort zone could be refusing to take risks because you are afraid of the unknown. Some people have great business ideas, but they prefer to remain as employees because their job is their comfort zone.

There could be plenty, but list some of less obvious ones:

1: I used to thought that my identity was about what i was supposed to do. That it couldn't contradict with my values. It definitely can.
2: I cared a lot what others thought about me and that's why it was hard to set my own limits, not to disappoint others because fear to be abandoned.
3: I used to think that life was some kind of competition, and that there would be winners and losers.

Now that i have recognized what's valuable in my life, all these seem silly and immature thoughts to me. I feel so free.

I'm not sure what you mean by your point 1 with implying that you are supposed to do things that contradict with your values?

I agree that life is an experience more than a game, even though life certainly involves many games which are won or lost, but also that there is a game aspect to life in that it is intended to be fun at least some of the time, and that furthermore that most of us as humans are expected to at least try to solve a few the puzzles of philosophy.

One mistake?

One mistake many people make including myself so to not seizing opportunities that present themselves as a young adult due to fear or doubt. We mostly overthink things and by the time we are ready, yet the time has passed for us to do that thing. At this age i have come to realize that you only fail when you don't try but when you try even when you think you have failed for trying its wrong. You’ll either succeed or learn, but you won’t be left wondering what if?

Currently i am also figuring out that working crazy hours take is not good. Don't work for life but work to live your life we don't know when it will all end.

Thanks for sharing, your mistake is what a lot of young people are doing right now they don't seize opportunities  they are still joking around thinking they have all the time in this life some people that are poor today are people that didn't seize the good opportunity they have and like they say opportunity something come but once so if you miss one great opportunity you may not see another one anymore so any opportunity you have don't joke with it make sure you hold it very tight and make good use of it if  you do you will become successful.
I asked some old people in my home town to tell me there regret when it comes to making money and they told me about an opportunity they didn't take serious and it passed them and if they had taken that opportunity seriously they would have become rich so please is very good as young people to hold every opportunity we see.
For me I will never joke with any opportunity I take every opportunity very serious because I don't want to regret not taking it serious in the future so I will take it very serious.

One of the mistake I will never forget in my life is, sponsored your boyfriend through out his higher institution and later break up with you without consider all the effort you have gather to made him a better person to become husband and wife in the future. My experience have thought me a lot of lesson, which I will like to advise the youths not to sponsor someone all the name of becoming together as husband and wife in the nearest future, because there are some people using that strategy to scam some people to achieve their goals.

Take good care of yourself first before you can think of other people, because anything can happen that will make those people you trained to become a great people to turn back on you, not to remember the good things you have done for them to become what they are today.

It's alright.. We cant blame ourselves for making mistake but we can only blame ourselves for not realizing our mistake on time to start doing the right things early. You see is most likely the highest nemesis of life. There are things we can no longer due because we have pass those times. Its either we now have responsibility like family to take care of (both nuclear or extended family). No one earth will say they have never had any life changing opportunity at least one that can change their present predicament and put them one step ahead.

My biggest mistake was supporting my brother through his higher institution with the hope that when he graduate he will also support me....
But reverse was the case.

What a life.6

[BADecker]

I don't make mistakes, even to help others. But sometimes I lie a little.

I know a lot of cases like this. And it's not just blood brothers but more of a partner relationship.

And that's why don't get invested to your partners that you're not tied with. But with yours, it's about blood matters. We can't dictate what our relatives will do after helping them.

For that reason, always have something for yourself and much better not expect anything in return upon helping.

30+? Name one mistake you did to help others


Joined Bitcointalk?

[Odusko]

Experience comes from making those mistakes yourself, so I will concentrate on the mistake I made and the lessons that I learned from them, although even if no one learn from them since I know how hard it could be to learn from other people mistakes, but is important that there can be a few things that can be learn from them even if no practiced but still.
The major mistake I made in the past is to believe is speculation so much and allowing it to determine my selling or buying Bitcoin at whatever time and that have lead me to a lot of regrets, but lessons learned and I am better off now.

[Jegileman]

One thing I will always advise is that mistake are inevitable but when we make one, we should try and make amends for it while it is still much needed to make up for it. Procrastinating and waiting later could cause some damage that may be irreversible in your life again. It is also important to take opportunities when they present themselves, when you don’t to that, you just risk losing an opportunity that may never come back to you again. Some opportunities comes but once, so working on them immediately is the best one can do to avoid mistakes that are irreversible.

[Orange89]

I guess one mistake I made and still think about is spending to much time trying that to impress the people who did not really matter in the long run I used to say Yes to Everything just to Fit In Or Be Liked by other even if it was not really me & honestly you know It drained me out confused me & cost me time I can have spent build something real for it myself

Now that I am grown I realise that being genuine matter way more than the pretending one People came and go frend but your peace of mind
Somethng That is priceless

So yeah my advice to the younger friend would be do not just twist yourself into someone you are not just to get a nod of approval by other
Life gets so much easier when you stop faking it believe me
And most important try to say no to the people the act of saying no is really powerful

What do you say

[EluguHcman]

Before I may proceed, I would like to make this view clear that sometimes, something done by someone and have it made a mistake can be repeated by others and they will succeed.
The only acknowledgement change should be the time frame to do it just as our investment and trading plans goes such as entry and exit time frame.

Like some unsuccessful traders will say... Trading is gambling or a waste of time because you either rely on luck to make it or you lost it all out of bad luck. Meanwhile, it was their fault of not realizing that they were supposed to had ascertained s high level of knowledge before getting on it regarding it requires logics.

Being afraid of doing mistakes is another mistake
I made

I would go contrary to this this. Preferably...be afraid/conscious of making mistakes but when you get it wrong, don't be afraid to try again with different strategy that is feasible to bring you better results and when it fails you, don't feel exhausted to try again.

The fact is that the more you try and retrying is the more you approaches to the point of getting it right and "never give up" is the key to get it right if really getting it right is made a prior.

One of the biggest mistakes I made in life that I wouldn't want anyone to repeat is to believe that all the people you helped when they were in need will stand by you when you also need them. Long story short I had an opportunity to help a couple of people when they were struggling, things got better for them and I had a challenge and I was hoping to get the same help from them since I helped them when they were in need but I was disappointed, abandoned and I regretted ever helping them.

I agree. And, further, at times we give others good help, but they are stupid enough to not want it, or us.

I don't know the right words that would suit them but I guess they were never my friends they just wanted to use me to achieve what they wanted and it worked for them. I learnt a good lesson never to help everyone cause some may never repay your kindness when you need help from them.
