Smart, successful people are by no means immune to making mistakes; they simply have the tools in place to learn from their errors.– Travis Bradberry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr. Travis Bradberry believes there are 10 mistakes smart people never make twice, and he feels \u201cemotionally intelligent people embrace mistakes for what they are\u2014great opportunities to learn\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the first step?\u00a0 Admitting that you made a mistake and committing to learning from it so it\u2019s not repeated.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what he views as the top 10 mistakes:<\/p>\n

Believing in someone or something that\u2019s too good to be true.<\/strong> Some people are so charismatic and so confident that it can be tempting to follow anything they say. Don\u2019t be na\u00efve!<\/p>\n

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.<\/strong>\u00a0Albert Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. If you want a different result, you must change your approach.<\/p>\n

Failing to delay gratification.<\/strong>\u00a0Gratification doesn\u2019t come quickly and hard work comes long before the reward.<\/p>\n

Operating without a budget.<\/strong>\u00a0Budgets, both professionally and personally, establish discipline, and discipline is the foundation of quality work.<\/p>\n

Losing sight of the big picture.\u00a0<\/strong>Assess your daily priorities against your goals; are they aligned?<\/p>\n

Not doing your homework.<\/strong>\u00a0There\u2019s no substitute for hard work and due diligence.<\/p>\n

Trying to be someone you\u2019re not.<\/strong>\u00a0Happiness and success demand authenticity.<\/p>\n

Trying to please everyone.<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s not possible to please everybody, and trying to please everyone pleases no one.<\/p>\n

Playing the victim.<\/strong>\u00a0To play the victim, you have to give up your power, and you can\u2019t put a price on that.<\/p>\n

Trying to change someone.<\/strong>\u00a0The only way that people change is through the desire and wherewithal to change themselves.<\/p>\n

Author Paulo Coelho simply states \u201cWhen you repeat a mistake, it is not a mistake anymore: it is a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Words to live by!<\/p>\n
