Blessing in Disguise...

What I learned from my Mistake…

Let me share what I learned in this SmartKid program.

As I've said in my previous blog that this SmartKid program, let me learn a great lesson to remind myself about... hey!!! even though we wanted to do something right or at least a right intention but if the action is wrong or not at right time/place, it might caused a misunderstanding....

Well I personally will say that I'm guilty to do something wrong at the second day (11 July), but as a man who kept my promise, I Walk My Talk and I can't tell anything about my mistake, but I'll still share what I learn from it right here...


One of the principle that is so applicative on this case is the one called "Action has Consequences" and yes I did something wrong here and I deserve the punishment and scold. The truth is that I'm very upset and disappointed at myself... but I also remember one of my principle that I always remember, which is


"What doesn't Kill me,
Makes me Stronger"

and yes it makes me looks more clearly about this and let me learn such an important lesson. Indeed I figured that principle from a friend (I'm sure that the person know about it, thank you so much Xu Shi Pei) as I was on a problem too, but the difference is that this time it's my mistake, but it's still applicative.

In fact I also find a great book that really help me to reflect and kinda cheer me up, which is the "Joys & Pains of Growing Up" by Peter Lau. In his book I found many great quotes and for my case this time I found a very nice quote in Principle 2, which is...

“Every Negative Event contains within it the seed of an equal or greater Benefit” – Napoleon Hill

and also from Peter himself

“A thing may not be as bad as it seems. It may just be a blessing in disguise”

Many of people also cheer me up as they talk about this with me even Peter himself also talked to me about this... Special thanks to Peter, Ko Dickson, Ci Mega, Yonis, Lindy, Mona, Dion and also all my friends that cheer me up that day, I really appreciate all of you..

Even though it's not such an easy thing to go through, but I can overcome my own negative thoughts and go on, also with a therapy that I learned from Pak Tung and that I did to myself to let go of that feeling, which is called the "Disassociate", it's so powerful thanks to Pak Tung too. Then the next day I also played the "John Grinder Game" and even do the "Double Disassociate" to myself that I also learned from Pak Tung. Well this mistake also let me practice on how to therapy myself, I learned much from this...

Furthermore this event also let me understand more about Pak Tung's concept about "Whatever happens in our Life, it depends on us, about what Meaning we give to it and how we act to it" that the Meaning I give to this event is that I have to challenge and prove myself even more, which is similar which what Ernest said about "The Way you see yourself determines what you think you can do and that determines what you'll attempt and that determines your success or failure"
...and with all of those plus my greatest principle 'What doesn't Kill me, Makes me stronger", I can now see even more clearer about life and how to fail forward, now I really see that Failing Forward is possible like John C Maxwell said on his book( even though I haven't read that one, but I have to read it too later), it's really a rare opportunity since I haven't made such a big mistake for a long time, so this mistake is so precious and worthed for me...

Thanks for reading...

And as the Wind blows… Cya at the Top!!!
