So today I decided to get a body numbing workout in. My body feels extremely good now but during my workout I missed a bunch of shots that I know I can make. The best thing though is that I can learn from my missed shots so that I can continue to get better at shooting.
What is one thing that recently happened to you that you feel you can learn from?

thank you @humanearl
Hmm, another lovely topic @humanearl, and what a wonderful example you've given here to depict the topic you want us to discuss.
Okay, what recently happened to me that I learnt from was the power of team work and studying hard.
I just finished my exams in school, and I was to defend a project with my project mates. The unfortunate thing is that one of us did not study hard, but because we were working as a team, he had some level of support from us, but yet he still lost some marks.
From thus I learnt that, no matter how brilliant your ideas are, they are not likely to be realized without a great team. Success is all about execution. However, it is not possible unless you have right people in the right places. Your own knowledge, time and energy are never enough to build something worth being proud of. Great ideas require great teams.
Also, The contemporary world gathers the pace and it does not allow you to be slack. One day you decide to hit a pause, the next day you appear to be irrelevant. If you want to succeed, you should keep up the pace and always strive to meet the high standards of the modern life. Stay in constant learning mode and keep broadening your knowledge unless you are willing to be left behind. Knowledge is crucial. Do not stop studying. Thank you.
My wife always says "teamwork will make the dream work". I remember how hard school was for me at times. It was better when I had help from others too. I used to go to tutoring to get help because I had a hard time.
I have made up my mind to be of help to people around me because i was deprived of it when i needed it urgently. It was an unfortunate situation, but there was no one to help.
So i will Spend more time listening to people and finding out how you can help them. Life is built on relationships. Not only will you be happier but you will also build a network to achieve more. I’m learning to apply this better and better and have been a student of it my whole life. It has meant even more since my dad passed away last year. As an introvert I found this harder but have realized life is easier when you help others make it easier! They then have your back too. More importantly is knowing you made them feel important.
Sorry about your dad. I can't imagine what that experience is like.
I'm also an introvert! Even though spending time around people drains me I love helping them.
Am really glad you picked up a lesson from this situation. That's the difference between those who learn and those who complain.
For me, I learnt from experience to take care of people around me. I helped a lady who was looking for a place for her brother to stay, not knowing that I would need her help in the nearest future.
It is so unfortunate that taking care if people is a fading human trait day by day.
The world is a great place. We have beautiful countries, powerful leaders, exotic food, oldest mysteries, best adventures and wealthiest buildings. But what makes all this so great? you and me. We are forgetting this fact gradually. Any experience, any success, any materialistic possession can not replace people.
Everyone, including yourself is a very unique set of same ingredients. I learnt to look at those around me as another world, as human beings. You let them go or hold on, respect or teach lesson, share or fight with them, challenge or learn from…..understand them and connect with them. Tell your stories, listen to theirs, eat food together and walk down few roads. No matter how good or bad they are, they make your world.
I am sure that the last person on this planet won’t be the happiest one!
Live with people not machines. Because people sometimes go away, without any notice, and never come back.
This is why I love meeting and talking with people from other countries. It's a good way to connect with others who are not like yourself. You learn so much from just listening to others.
How we react to something is everything. Plans almost never go exactly how we anticipate or hope. Learning how to adapt in the face of that is the best tool you can cultivate. Find the positive side of any situation, no matter how far you have to reach. It's basically guaranteed happiness. No good stories ever come from situations that go smoothly, nor do you learn anything from those situations
Shooting after working biceps means airballing your first 5 shots 100%
This is exactly why I lift at the end of shooting because it can really throw your shot off.
I spent time designing a product, and it turned out to be the best among its competitors. The lesson I learnt is that Everything Worth Doing Takes Time. Despite the eternal desire to achieve massive wins overnight, no one has ever managed to do that. The reason is simple: Everything worth doing is neither easy nor fast. Therefore it is not worth expecting to become the best at what you do without having made a major sacrifice and taken a huge effort.
It's hard sometimes because want to things to happen fast and easy. But you are right that the grind can produce some of the most satisfying results.
Okay. On one experience that I have learnt from, I often find myself juggling too many things at the same time. Like, in one night, I am expected to finish a Psychopathology Case Report, prepare a report for class, console a friend online who's having some issue about her love life (rather, lack of it), and wake up at 3AM the next day to prep for a workshop.
Lesson: Find stronger coffee.
Real lesson: It's okay to say no.
We have to learn to say NO
Saying NO can be one of the most freeing choices we can make.
I'm one of these guys that gets super intimitated by large chunks of text. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love books and reading in general, but sometimes I'm looking at this huge amount of sentences in an article and my head feels way too lazy.
But then I learned this lesson and it helped me a lot:
Just read one sentence at a time. See it as your personal small task: "Dude, you just got to read that sentence and you're done!"
You'll do it and think: "Hmm, that was easy - how about another one?"
And you'll go on and on.
Suddenly you'll find yourself at the bottom of it. Done.
That was easy, wasn't it?
I found that can I use this kind of approach in almost anything, not just reading.
If I have a lot of stuff to do, most of the time I just don't even bother starting with it. It's just so much!
But if I break all this work down into tiny little challenges and do them one by one - it doesn't seem that much anymore.
This is my favorite quote.
"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Thank you for this post. Steemit has really helped me to see a brighter side of my life. I am really blessed with so many potentials that i had no idea of..
I recently broke up with my friend. Breakup Is A Source Of Motivation. It might seem counterintuitive. However, despite the breakup is often associated with the depression, downturn in productivity and overall fragility, the one thing is always overlooked - the breakup is also a reason to become better. It is a source of motivation. It is a source of energy that you should channel towards self-improvement and new accomplishments. I am a better person
Breakups can be very difficult to deal with. And yeah that's something I really like about Steemit is that it promotes and encourages creativity and inspiration.
You should Be grateful for what you have ( I know it's an overused statement, but it's so important).I have traveled far and wide, and the I keep asking myself why I have a life that has given me the luxury of amazing travel experiences (not to mention a load of other luxuries many of us take for granted), while there are women out there who are treated as nothing more than baby-making machines and will never get a proper education or have any hope of becoming more. My mind is blown by the unfairness of that lottery system. It's hard to appreciate the things you've always had - so get out there and travel and see what things are like on the other side. You'll realize just how good you have it and maybe be inspired to do more with the gifts you take for granted everyday.
I pray God puts this in our remembrance daily. Amen
Thank you @humanearl for this post. What u have learnt from experience is that We are the creator of our own happiness. For years I have thought my happiness depended on others, until I edified myself with the word of God. I got to know I was responsible for my happiness, No one else. If you're not happy, you're keeping yourself in a situation that doesn't suit you - whether it's your job, the people you surround yourself with, or the place you live. If you have the means, get out of there however you can, and move towards something that fills your soul. However long it takes you to find that, keep looking. Maybe even the act of looking and the anticipation of discovery is all you need, because you're never meant to settle for something.
Getting out out unhappy situations can be hard for many people but if it is done it can help that person grow and learn from that experience.
Its good to see you hitting out at gym and I am sure this would bring your energy back and this is equally important in the journey of life.
I hope to see your workout to be productive one and your missed shots would become the perfect shots.
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful.
I recently had friends who i taught were friends, but i have learnt that most Friends don't last forever. It's the harsh reality, you'll realize this one day, if not now, then, in the near future. Different people have different priorities. For some people, their partners are their priority but for others their career is the priority. Don't make your friend's priority, your priority. You have different tastes and choices. Don't just blindly follow. It only leads to unhappiness and self doubt.
Do not listen to others. People love giving free advise which are of no use to us half of the time. Listen. Nod. But do what your heart says. BECAUSE YOUR HEART KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
@humanearl - Sir I don't think t's missed one... While you are working hard to improve your level of exercises, you made a nice photography.... Nice you decided to share it Sir... Wish you a Merry Christmas Sir...

I recently graduated with a 2nd Class Honours (4.49) and i felt bad that i could have done better to get the A in the course that i got a B. I felt thati should have read harder and it kept depressing me. But after sometime, a friend of mine encouraged me and pointed out the positive sides of life and all it was all about, i decided to give God all the glory. There’s a big difference between learning from and dwelling on mistakes. Consider this: you either learn to fail or fail to learn. Making mistakes is a normal part of life. It’s how you approach them that matters. How to work around this? Try a different strategy of viewing your past by forgiving yourself for mistakes that you made. Reflect on them, learn from them, but don't hold on to them. This applies to your relationships, career, education, and other areas of your life in which you feel you didn’t achieve what you wanted or underperformed in some way. By changing how you relate to mistakes, you will give yourself more freedom to manage your future more successfully.
Thats really the best thing. Being able to learn from them
Listening Is The Greatest Gift You Can Give Someone
I was on a canoe trip, I became very close friends with 12 other guys. We were all there for different reasons. One of the guys had been sent there instead of going to jail—he’d gotten caught with a few pounds of bud. Another guy was addicted to heroin. Another guy, Xanax and Vicodin. Another guy was suicidal. Etc.
It was an odd mix of guys, but within a few days we all realized that we were in this together. We had to rely on each other to pull our canoes out of the water, to set up camp every night, to make cook dinner, to clean up—and then as the stars appeared in the sky and the moon rose over the water, we would sit around a fire every night and talk. Just talk, and listen.
One day, one of the guys—whose father owned a massive oil company and was extremely rich—started talking to me about some of his problems. All I did was listen. I had so much going through my mind and I felt so out of place that I didn’t even want to talk—so I just listened. 10–15 minutes, he talked, and I just stayed quiet, looking him in the eyes, listening.
Later that night, when we were around the fire, this guy spoke up and said, “Today, Cole and I had a really great conversation, and I just want to say how much I appreciated that.”
I almost didn’t even recall our conversation, because I didn’t think of it as a conversation—I hadn’t said a word.
I realized, in that moment, how much people value being HEARD. It felt a conversation to him because I had listened. I didn’t pretend to listen—I actually heard him and acknowledged how he felt.
For the rest of the trip, I made an extreme effort to give every person I talked to that space to feel HEARD. It felt like the greatest gift I could possibly give, because all of us were struggling with something and that’s all we needed, was to be heard.
We all want to be heard and when someone listens to us this can change our lives for the better. I'm proud of you for stepping up and saying something to help the guy. So many people need someone to listen to them.
Thank you so much for this post. Am glad to be part of it.
In my own experience, I've learnt to watch my desires. I found myself getting addicted to watching eating junks, and before you know it, I was getting fatter, but yet I was not still watching my desire to eat. The more I ate, the more I wanted to eat more. My desire was not getting satisfied, but rather was getting deeper and larger. and that made me become fat. I had to do a lot of exercise for months to get back into shape.
A strong desire to have something or to be with someone over some time creates an attachment towards that thing or that person (remember, we are what we think). This attachment causes us to take action.
But when that action does not lead to fulfillment of your desire, it creates anger, because the ego is hurt. This anger creates more attachment. Now you want that person or that material thing even more. Again, you will repeat the process and create more anger. This anger destroys your intelligence. And you indulge into processes that harm you, and your relationships with others, like drinking.
Most of the people realise this when it’s too late. If you are able to watch this process when it is happening to you, you will stop in time.
All desires are not bad. But you need to be detached.
Thank you @humanearl.
I have had recent experiences that depict that If you don’t feel like you fit in, it’s probably because you haven’t found like-minded people. - I’ve only recently come to terms with this. I’ve always felt a bit like the odd-man out; more interested in learning and hacking and getting better. The internet has shrunk the world and it is easier to connect to like-minded folk. Find people who are like you while also developing relationships with those who you aspire to be more like. Meanwhile, embrace your inner-weirdness as it is what makes you, YOU.
Embrace that. I have been seen as a weirdo, outcast, odd man for as long as I can remember. I embrace this because this is who I am and have much to offer the world. So do you.
Nice and awesome photograpy by @humanearl
Wel done and perfect work my dear friend...
I'm always appreciate ur works...
Good luck bro...
Recently I started learning programming, motivated to play around with steemsql. It has not been that easy. But like you said, we can learn from our mistakes. Practice practice practice. Learning from fellow Steemians too everyday.
I've heard of steemsql but what is it exactly?
It is a SQL database for steem. Basically data from blockchain transferred to MSSQL database. Since sql is easier language, it makes is easier to make custom queries to the database. I use it for filtering out posts based on category, rep, etc for curating purposes.
Ahhh. I see. I've recently dabbled in a little programming myself with setting up nodes for a different blockchain
That is great. I am at a beginner level. Hope to learn more. Merry Christmas!
All problems that I face are things to learn from. I face them however unsolvable they seem with courage and might!
The unsolvable challenges although very difficult can be very exciting to tackle.
exactly right.
can't hit the bull's eye everytime.
adjust your aim..and try again.
Wise words
Oh yeah, sometimes it happens that you want to make a better photo and you make some effort to do it, but you get a marriage. I also have to learn and remodel :) Thanks @humanearl
Pretty cool. If you dont learn from mistakes then you never tried it.
Selecting the right workout routine is crucial for reaching your goals. People who don't choose the right plan are setting themselves up for failure. Here are our top 3 tips for selecting a workout.
Select a workout routine that's designed for your experience level. Seems simple right? Many people who are just getting started lifting still choose workout plans that are designed for experienced lifters and pro bodybuilders. You will get much faster results from a plan that suits your experience. If you're just starting out, find a beginner workout.
Think about your lifestyle and select a workout that fits. Don't try and fit a 5-6 day workout routine into your already busy lifestyle. You'll skip days, not recover properly and ultimately fail. You would have been better off with a workout plan that only requires 3 days in the gym. Think about how much time you can realistically put in working out.
Choose a workout routine you know you'll be able to stick with for the full duration. Most workout plans are designed for a set period. 8-10 weeks for example. You're not going to get the best results if you only follow the routine for 4-5 weeks. This is something you should definitely look out for in periodization routines as the workload often increases as you progress through the workout.
So nice. Experience is surely the best teacher.
I realize that nobody needs to travel away to somewhere or visit someplace to achieve a life experience. All you need is just a simple opportunity.
I watched the movie “Ballerina” recently and I found out that ‘Passion’ is a so crucial element that make our life sparkles! It made me recall back the day I worked in a company that I found myself tedious every single moment. 8am in the morning get up of the bed, 9am sharp check into office, 12.30pm have my lunch, 5pm finish working and get home. And then, the second day repeat the whole process again.
So, I recently quit my job and start learning coding and programming. I always love playing game and I will imagine someday I have the ability to create my own game! So, THAT’s my ‘Passion’! Like the guy in the movie says “Why do you dance?” The answer is just simply “Is my dream.” Three words worth a thousand words!
Last but not least,if you are the guy who hasn’t found out your passion, just keep going! If you are the lucky one, just stay passionate!
That's really cool that you are learning how to program and code. It is not an easy thing to do. I hope you get an opportunity to hopefully build a cool game someday. If coding and programming is what extracts you the most then go for that and give it your best.
love it...
