Learning from mistakes is one thing that we should do. Some people doesn't think that way. When they did something wrong in others' view, they tend to correct the others and not THEMSELVES; which is a little weird as they don't realize that it is a common mistakes and yet they're so protective towards their answers. Its like they're saying 1+1=3, and everyone knows 1+1=2.
There are many types of people. I don't classify people under race or religion, high or low class. Talking about high class and low class people, who are "they" to classify themselves as high class people and who are they to judge people as low class people? Fact is, we human should be classify as one, and I don't think 1Malaysia have that, and still the Malays have even more 'hidden' benefits. Let's get back to the topic, as I was saying, I classify people under 'Ego-er' and 'Hard learner'
'Ego-er' are those people that think that they know a lot of things and tend to reuse those knowledge in every situation by putting those idea in another form or sentences, making people think that they know a lot of things. I've seen such people, boasting around with how clever they are and showing off their 'talent'. These kind of people really makes my stomach sick. They cannot accept others idea and they tend to be beaten by their own kind, those superior 'Ego-er' than them. Yes, they can be very successful, but the truth is, they'll never learn from people that they think who are 'out of their league'.
'Hard learner' are people that really want to learn. They even learn from 'Ego-er' a lot. They seize any opportunity and fell down a lot, but still they don't give up and open their mistakes to others, in which is the opposite of 'Ego-er'. They accept any challenges and try their best, and when they know they're losing, they buff up and learn what the winners did to win. Hard learner can turn into Ego-er too, when they put their pride ahead of their heart. I don't think every Ego-er starts from being a Hard learner, but most of them are.
Winners and losers, two real classes in the real world. Which class would you be classified in? The answer is in your own bare hands.
Once a Loser, forever a Loser. Don't ever think that you'll still have tomorrow to change. This kind of thinking doesn't help you! It'll make you forever a loser. What if tomorrow never come? Stuck at being a loser forever, until the day you're crying in your own casket?
