That big mistake that I wouldn't forget in a hurry.

Hello dear friends...
I bring you warmest greetings to you all, I'm @ibraheem75 from Nigeria, I'm so delighted to participate on this amazing contest organized by @okere-blessing from this great community.

What do you describe as a mistake?

Mistake are errors carried out by someone in which one doesn't wish for or things which are not intended to happen. So many people have made a lot of mistakes and regretted why they were involved in that kind of event. Therefore, mistakes are not what just happens intentionally.

How did you make that mistake that you wouldn't forget in a hurry, share your story with us.

One mistake I ever made was to trust a friend who later betrayed me. Where this event happened actually was when I was in the university, we were asked to carry out a project and I planned to make a project from what I saw online, I discussed this with my friend and he told me to go ahead. I went on carried out my project and came out as the best amongst all other students. Because my friend was so jealous of my success, he revealed to the professors that I had gotten all the information from a source and lied that I wasn't the one who carried out the project but I had ordered it from someone. This got the professor angry and told me I will carry-over the course which he actually did and this made me to stay for another year. After this incident I learnt that I had made a big mistake and never going to trust anyone.

Do you learn anything from the mistake?

They say experience is the best teacher, when you made a mistake in the past, you learn a lot, so I learn not to disclose my plans with friends or to some extent even families, but I know there are some key persons in my life which I can literally open up a bit, but sometimes is best not to, remain quiet and let them seeing you moving higher I think that is best.

Do you think mistake is a must in every human life. Share your thoughts.

Well, I believe mistakes are inevitable and are essential parts of human growth, development or even progress, because they provide wide range of opportunities for me in person to learn reflect and perhaps improve, just like what happened to me during my school day's.

Again mistakes are an inherent part of the human experience, which plays a significant steps for our growth and development. When we embrace mistakes it foster humility and bring out the imperfect person in us for us to learn and improve.

Finally from my own end here, mistakes are a stepping stones to every human success, which unlock our full potential as humans that we are. Therefore, permit me to invite @josepha @ninapenda and @goodybest for the contest.

Thanks for reading @ibraheem75.
