Make More Mistakes is back!
In June 2006, I started writing & publishing a blog dedicated to documenting my entrepreneurship mistakes so that others could learn from them and so I could remind myself that it’s important to make more mistakes.
In October 2006, I had to take a break from Make More Mistakes because I didn’t have time to continue with it. I promised to return to it in January 2007.
January 2006, Make More Mistakes is back! With a funky new design and a brand new entry on Being tempted to quit my education early.
It’s a very personal entry about my struggles with my postgraduate programme and the uncertainty of success. However, it is also a very hopeful entry in which I discuss different methods of tackling doubt and getting back on the right track, as well as the many important lessons I’ve learnt so far. Here’s an excerpt:
The requirement to tell my parents if I were dropping out and the fact this might have made moving out more urgent has really helped me to bring ‘Making my Escape’ to the forefront of my mind. It’s now more pressing: I’m getting on with it instead of procrastinating. […]
In addition, thinking about quitting has highlighted the importance of finding alternative sources of income. So I’m working really hard on that too: Ideas & Potential Solutions for my Fiscal Challenge. (Please do send me suggestions; I really appreciate your help).

Time-management and other challenges
Writing and managing so many sites (three, shortly rising to four) is very challenging. Maybe that’ll be the subject of another entry! In the meantime, I’m continuing with decluttering and working on spring cleaning All Things Bright too. So, as usual, do send me suggestions.
Currently, the biggest practical challenge is trying to make myself get enough sleep. Must stay healthy!
Thank you, my lovely readers!
I’d also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to my readers and commenters. I really appreciate you and it’s always lovely to hear from you. I’d love to know how you find All Things Bright, but mystery or not, I’m really pleased to have you here!
Thank you!

This title, ‘More Mistakes,’ reminds me what Indira Gandhi, the first woman Prime Minister of India said (forgive my mistake of not quoting her actual words, I am conveying the message here): only those who work commit mistakes–and this implies that you are very very productive person. So you can continue with much more….
I googled for the ‘mistake’ quote, but instead found something else. And, would like to share this with you:
“My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.” ~quotations on Integrity by Indira Gandhi
All the best, Mohamed

Ian,
So am I!
Will be interesting making sure All Things Bright and Make More Mistakes stay on their separate paths…
Glad you like the new look, still playing with it, but I think the layout (i.e. full post view for first entry, then long linked list of titles) works well for a blog that’s updated less frequently.
Thanks for what? Rambling on? Heh, no worries! I really enjoying writing and I can’t believe how many lovely comments I’m getting about how I’m resonating with people and helping. I’m so grateful to be able to help other people.
Yay!

Mohamed,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and that quotation. I agree, it is very true that only those who act or work make mistakes. I do try to be productive; time will tell how successful I am with that endeavour! :)
I love the humour of the ‘two kinds of people’ quotation too, quite a sobering thought too.
Thank you and apologies in the delay of posting your comment.
Kx
