The Best Mistake That I Ever Made Was ----
The best mistake that I ever made occurred during my elementary school years, when I heard one of my fellow students give a marvelous guitar performance during a concert. I was deeply touched by the beauty of the melody and I became determined to learn to play the guitar just as well as he did. I expressed these thoughts to my parents and asked them to buy me a guitar, which was really out of reach of our family’s modest income. But I persisted, and after saving and sacrificing for several months, my parents gave me the greatest birthday gift that I had ever received – a guitar.
When I first began to practice, I could not get my fingers to do the work required to make such a beautiful melody. When I placed my fingers on the strings and strummed the guitar, I felt sharp pain and decided that guitar playing was not for me. Soon, the various distractions of high school life and the demands of my studies drew my attention away from my long-desired guitar. It was left in the corner of my room to gather dust.
One day, lacking anything better to do, I took out my guitar again and played the few chords that I had earlier learned. As I strummed the first few chords, I suddenly realized that no matter how great your desires and dreams are, if they are set aside they become no more than just that – dreams and desires that will never be realized. The only way to make them become reality is to put your heart and soul into making those dreams and desires come true without giving up, no matter what difficulties stand in your way.
