How not to make the same mistakes

Hey everyone,

Have you found yourself seeing that you are doing something right, in which the end result turned out to be wrong?

Human error happens all the time; we don’t live in a perfect world.

This doesn’t only happen in the programming world, it even happens to the best of us.

I’ll give you an example of myself… I was inspecting my roof at my own home without using any ladders, and it was yesterday as a matter of fact. Climbing up the roof was fine. Why I did it was because repairs were required. By the way, I don’t have a ladder yet.

Now then, going down the roof, it seemed too scary for me to jump off a slanted surface, although the distance was a lot shorter to make the jump.

Therefore, instead, I did what seemed fine for me as a child. I used to jump off around 8 feet off the playground without any problems at all.

I did exactly just that, and then gravity hit my left ankle really hard. The end result? It got sprained.

And that was the error on my part.

As for myself, I’m turning 31 next month. It is not the same as 10 years ago; aging every couple of years will make you a little weaker than you think you can handle.

And guys, it may be better to have some money well spent in the now that will last for the next coming years. If I did invest in a ladder which costed not as much, then I would have been able to enjoy my weekend a lot more.

Now, I will have to make a trip to the doctor, which is a little more of a bummer.

Anyway, you maybe asking, where am I getting at with this?

The time to invest in your own self. That is like loving yourself first. After that, you can find yourself assured that you’ll do things a lot better.

Now as for my situation, I know what I shouldn’t have done, and I’m going to make it different the next time. So a high-risk, low-reward type of situation is very bad.

Anyway, that’s all I have. Today is a day’s visit to the doctor to see if there is anything wrong with my ankle.

However, until next time, for sure!

Brian.
