This is the same thing that most older members on the forum will write because most of us have been there. Most of us made very silly, embarrassing, mistakes during our earlier days on the forum. And some were lucky enough to get a second chance and they turned out to be some of the most top members here.
And as for you, you still have a lot to learn but you have learned one of the most valuable lessons on the forum. As a newbie on this forum , over time you would learn to develop a thick skin because criticism and corrections would come. Some would be harsh and some others would be considerate. However whatever be the case do not take it personal just learn the lesson and move on.
Topic: When you make mistakes, do not fail to take corrections. - page 7. (Read 1228 times)
Make mistakes and also take corrections. This is one of the things i learnt in this forum as Newbie and it's helped me through my journey this far so I decided to create this thread to help encourage other new members. It's in our human nature to make errors, that's to say that they’re inevitable and bound to happen but the most important thing is to take corrections, learn from the mistakes, to avoid making more errors.
There are some errors that people make out of ignorance, for instance wrong quoting or posting on the wrong board, do not panic when you make such errors, normally as a Newbie you're here to learn and impact knowledge when you can therefore you should see those errors as a learning process. Also, there are members that would take it upon themselves to bring such errors to your notice and probably give you the necessary corrections, now that's where taking corrections comes in, do not panic it might lead you to make more errors while you're in a rush to correct yourself, take your time, take note of your mistakes so as not to make more similar ones in future and correct them carefully.
Sometimes you might feel you're making the right points, giving your opinions about some threads but do not feel threatened when someone quote you wrong, try to prove yourself right if you're sure of your points or take corrections if you discover they're right. Note that no one knows it all and there are lots of people on here that might be far more inteligent than you, so sometimes instead of arguing it's best to take corrections and learn.
