You're just afraid to make a mistake!



In fact, when it is all about you are someone that you can only perform tasks. It should also consider that the problem should be put to you - the mind seizes the cold horror of liability. After all, your mistake will cost no problem to someone there - someone out there but somehow cope with their problems, and you have. And one thought of it brings terrible suffering.

When my colleague made ​​a mistake that cost me two months of her salary, not to mention the fact that I have lost potential earnings, equal to her monthly earnings and the prospective client that could provide me a few large orders, I saw no remorse. I heard. ' Well here it happened '. and saw in her eyes that I think it can cope with this. It simply shifted the responsibility for his mistake on my shoulders and quietly retired at the end of the day.

On the other hand, I made a few mistakes on their own. Each of them has a price. And each of them brought me a lot of experience, not to commit similar mistakes in future. Now I know that.
- Partnership - evil.
- Employees always work as well as you,.
- To judge the future on how to work people in the first month - you can not.
And there are many other lessons.

But at the same time, I saw in his studio, as the same mistakes being made from year to year, but to avoid them was simply. Just one example: Each year we extend the hosting service for corporate clients. All the work - an invoice. But every year repeats the same pattern: the graph is lost billing, accounts are set up in the wrong time and correctly. And it would be necessary to make a small file in Excel, and once a year to celebrate the changes. But I lost money, not the Secretary of. So my annual reminder. error. simply become part of the work, kick to commit acts of billing.

This applies not only to business. Fear of making a mistake causes a person to live the path of least resistance. I am very calm attitude to school, as well as learning in higher education. I do not think those years lost. But if you remember how I came to college, there was no conscious movement was not. I did everything because he had the opportunity. Maybe if I was stupid or has engaged in petty theft in the market, I would have found that high school for me a waste of time. But I was in a good school, graduated with a quartet and I had to continue their studies at university. After all, if I had not gone to study, you will not be able to rank well in this world, I would have made ​​a big mistake! .

My mother - an interesting and unique in its own people. Even when we lived in a small town in the area, it being a small municipal employees, has managed to gain respect from all sectors of the local authorities until the Mayor. We were uncomfortable with his brother to walk with her through the streets - every 100 feet could be heard a new ' zdraste '. My mother has always distinguished the character breakdown. Thanks to her we traveled through the tour of her teen club the whole of Lithuania, were in Poland, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Her club, and she has worked in all three that were in the city, has always been the best and most secured in terms of such institutions by the state. This does not mean that the walls were lined with granite, but it was possible to squeeze out - she got out.

When she itch to move us in Kaliningrad, it quickly and easily find and work first, and second, and third. She has a unique gift to communicate with directors. Working in a charity fund, it collects almost all the food that hospice - just by visiting a number of business people and persuading them to sponsorship.

Why am I telling you all this? . I can communicate with any people I have the gift of persuasion, but to do so, as it is, I can never. And yet every time I offer her my assistance in organizing any arbitrarily small business, she refuses to. She fears not cope. To her credit she did not leave the answer, but simply stated that he was afraid. My mother - a walking collection of stamps and fears of our society.

Fear of mistakes makes us hold on to the workplace that irritates us. Not for nothing goes anecdote about how the director takes charge of its employees for the entrance to the plant, and they still go. I was surprised and irritated by repeatedly observing how people are humiliated, unmotivated lower wages, laid off during the day and hire. They do not go away. They do not say a word against. It turns out that there is even a philosophy of such behavior:. ' He pobesitsya and pass, and the work will remain '. The philosophy of constant patience. For me it's like to want to ever write, but to go to the bathroom on schedule and not on need.

Fear of costly mistakes. Every time you were afraid to make a step, then someone ahead of you on the corner and you see it as an example of what can be achieved. Although this has its own philosophy:. ' He knows how to spin '. So we convince ourselves that. ' spinning '. - It is humiliating for a real gentleman. Let him now at the top, but he will get only our contempt! . ... appeared, because a half dozen guys hurry up with the timely distribution of natural resources? . This is a natural defense against their own fear of the unknown in the case of viscous changes the usual course of events.

Even when fear seems to be overcome, are beginning to have new fears. My brother started a small company. But when it does not matter, he did not engage in redevelopment, while others opened up opportunities and prospects. He and a partner at the time played enough in the business, having to rent an office, buy a fax machine and like even hire a secretary. The case was minimized, and most of his brother never went back to the topic of opening your own business. He had a good job, two suburban area of land, a beautiful car and optimistically looking to the future. He no longer wanted to be wrong. And when his boss was wrong - he was shocked. He was dumbfounded. He gradually lost wages, then the car because he could not pay the loan, now think about the sale of a plot, because the debts suddenly became an integral part of his life. Now he is scared again, but this is a simple fear of losing the last home. Now he is looking for a boss who would not be wrong. And not wrong in Russia, as we know, only the state.

Cease to be afraid of mistakes. All that you have not already done so, it becomes for you to load the same unfulfilled dreams. Every day until death you look at those who did went unselected by you, and yet succeeded. You will bite your elbows and blame them for what they have stolen your success or, worse, made ​​him ...

Error brings not only experience. She still has a limited exposure time. But your hesitation will remain with you until the very end of your life.
