Master's Reading and Writing, Life Advice

 By Nate Feldman

When I was young, I remember the time my mother took me to a video store and she asked me to pick a movie I wanted.  Unfortunately, I wavered and it took me one hour to pick a movie because I was so nervous of picking the wrong movie that night.  Instead of having a nice night and enjoying a movie, I spent more time in the video store not deciding on the movie I wanted.  I learned something from that day.  Don’t be afraid to make a mistake.  It’s part of life.  Even if you pick the wrong movie, it’s better than doing nothing.  So, my life advice is to just accept that we make mistakes all of the time and always will.  And that’s OK, because that is what being human is about.
