Paulo Coelho's blog. Accepting some mistakes.
The German philosopher F. Nietzsche once said:
“it is no use living arguing about everything; it is part of human nature to make a mistake now and again.”
And the writer James Joyce shares the same opinion
“A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.”
Yet we all know people who absolutely insist that they are right even down to the smallest details.
We ourselves are often included in this category: we don’t allow ourselves to make mistakes.
All that we achieve with such an attitude is the fear of moving forward – because certain steps call for new decisions whose results are unknown to us.
The fear of making a mistake is the door that locks us up in the castle of mediocrity: if we manage to overcome this fear, we are taking an important step towards our freedom.
Sunday Favourite Things - happy birthday to me
sunday was my 20-hate birthday. It was a cloudy, overcast day. hopefully not an omen to my year to come. lets be optimistic and think otherwise, you know apparently 28 is a luck number.

one thing I learnt a few birthday's ago is the importance of a party dress. just like when I was a little girl, a party dress makes me feel special, pretty and important. Exactly how I want to feel on my "big" day.
the older you get, the less important birthday's seem. mine was special and ordinary and perfect.
