When I was a child i tried to do everything perfect ....also as a growing up person.

Its sad that we think we have to be right on at the first time .

When I think about it I like to give myself a hug as a child .

I was deadly scared that I wasn't good enough for anything .

But one day my dad told me you have to fail to to winn ?

He also laughed out loud when I didn't succeed like he had the best time in his life .

And at that point we shared the same Universe and I was proud that I had a story to tell so I figured out I better have a story to tell often because that makes both of us feel dam good.

My dad laugh was music in my ears .

That was a strange lessen but I realize my upbringing in that sense are kind of rare .

For me that tried so hard to be a perfect human kind this came late in my life to relax and understand I dint have to at least not in that perfect first time sense, more important to try and fail and tray again.

As a schoolteacher I met a lot of children that told themselves from the start I will never succeed I'm stupid . I told them who's your friend ? They looked at me with big eyes .

Again I said who´s your friend that told you ,you are stupid ?

I guess its your little friend hanging around your shoulder?

And then I told them how scared I was when I was a child.

O really , my students often said .

Yes I said I was really scared didn't whant to go to school and look at me now .

People now see me as a person that always have self-confidence .

You can be exactly the same I say and then they start trying .

If you never try then you really fail and I guess you will have a boring life .

And boring that I can´t stand .

So please give yourself a clap on your shoulder did you tray something else today something new for the first time?

Thats what life is about.

I`m now so interested to fail to day to get it ,how about you ?
