Thoughts to Ponder

If you shut your door to all errors, truth will be shut out. ~Rabindranath Tagore

Amaia Nicole Saret:
This quote tells us that if we don't correct or accept our errors, they will stay as errors and we can't learn the truth. If we let our errors be corrected, we will learn what is wrong and therefore, the truth.


Angelica Mae Andes:
If you're tired of trying and failing again and again, you will not be successful, because finding the truth is all about trial and error. Successful people didn't become successful in the blink of an eye; they faced many trials and failed in the past but they never stopped believing that they could. Errors are part of knowing the truth and being successful. If you will not let yourself to be open to errors along the way, you will not know your wrongdoings and correct them for greater good.


Leo Nekko Romero:
This quote tells that one should be open to any comments and suggestions. One should accept one's errors and learn from them. If you are not open to be corrected, how will you be able to improve, to develop? One should be able to correct errors in order to not commit the same mistakes again. If you are not open to any comments, you will not know the right answer or the right result.


Abby Batalla:
Nobody is perfect; no matter how hard we try, still we can't be perfect. All of us commit mistakes and it's normal. We just need to accept our mistake and learn from it. For in every mistake, there is no failure, only learning. If we would view our mistakes negatively, it's just like refusing success to come into our lives.


Alyssa Azul:
This quote from Rabindranath Tagore tells us that if we don't want to correct our errors, our eyes will be closed to the truth. It is better to know our mistakes so that we can learn to correct them. As we know our error, we can avoid repeating it. All of us make a mistake, but what is important is when we learn to accept that we are wrong. Errors are our key to the truth.


Ericka Mae Rebanal:
This means that if we keep on saying we do nothing wrong, it goes to show that we are not truthful. When we commit an error, it means that we have the capability to accept the things we can and can't do. But when we close our eyes to every error we've made in our lives, it only means that we lack the inner strength to do what is right. Nothing will happen if we keep on saying we are right. At least, when we accept we've done something wrong, we can still change it. But every time we can't accept we are wrong, our mistakes will only get bigger and bigger.
