Being Salty About Silly Mistakes
— Catherine Pulsifer
Sometimes we make mistakes— while some of them are unavoidable, many of us also commit mistakes because of our indifference toward the situation. These clumsy stupid mistakes often become the most irritating thing in our life and all we can do is nothing but rant over it and be remorseful. In the worst scenario, we start the blame game only to realise it’s us who are to be held responsible for the end result.

A few days back, I was scheduled for an exam for which I paid over 18k, the most oversized fee I have ever paid for any exam. In fact, I have completed my bachelor’s and master's degree without needing to pay 18k in total as exam fees. So, undoubtedly, it was huge for me.
On the scheduled day, I went to the exam centre, took all my available documents, and waited for my turn to sit for the exam. This was when my stupidity came to light. It all began even a week earlier when I registered for the exam.
As per the regulation, I am liable to show the documents I registered for the exam to the respective authority. There is no deviation from it, not even a chance. But the copy I used to sign up for the exam is no longer with me— some unknown and unrecognised ‘dude’ from the bus stand took it out of my pocket without my consent. That’s a long story and happened a long time ago. I could’ve obtained the document from the issuing authority during this period as it’s almost 2 years now, but I am a master procrastinator. I did progress a little to get another copy of my NID— the ‘document,’ but it wasn’t enough. It’s like I could get it by this time, but proving common sense is not so common for me.
Anyway, back to the line.
So, I went to the exam centre with a ‘supposed to be alternative’ document on the designated day. But it failed to validate my identity there even though it was a stronger one that contains both my identity as well as the permission to travel abroad. I tried my best to convince them, showing my legal documents to prove I’m a legitimate citizen of this beautiful country. Still, they refused to accept it as I am supposed to show that exact document I used for signing up.
However, the day before the exam, I consulted with one of my senior brothers about the matter, and he repeatedly asked me to make sure it won’t cause any disturbance on the exam day. But I was reluctant and thought I had stronger evidence, so why should I care about it.
Fortune favours the brave— not the overconfident and over-smart one.
Yes, that was the case for me. And it was a life lesson for me as I had both of the documents and I knew the latter one is preferred for the exam registration. Just because it was easier for me to recall the identification number without looking into it, I selected my NID for the registration process.
And you already know the consequences.
Well, I somehow found an alternative, but it charged me an additional 3k for the exam. So, it’s now almost 22k— adding insult to my injury.
But what to do? It was my fault, after all.
So, I managed the amount from a reliable source of mine and re-registered for the exam, which will be held in the coming Sunday. Let’s see if my 22k investment is worth the hassle.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

I remember my Dad always telling me that, no is bigger when it comes to mistakes, I was somehow confused whenever he said this, since mistakes is not a human so I was confused and think that, the word "mistakes is very tall and huge, like a giant" never did I know that it was just our performance and our daily wrong doing, till I grow up and started experiencing mistakes at times in my life, so it is not bad if one make a mistake but it is very bad if one did not learn from his mistakes, after everything, if no lesson is derived from the Mistakes you makes, it is bad, As you may commit the same mistakes again and again.
This is really nice and I can't imagine seeing myself flowing in the piece like I am on top of a glowing river.
Thank you for your valuable thoughts on this mate, and yes, your dad is right. His intelligence is perceived through the words he told to you and it still bears the same value and it will continue to do so in the future. Indeed, those who learn from mistakes is the true gainer among us. They shine in their life- today or tomorrow.
You are right too,🤗
