Essay:
Making mistakes make us grow

As a proverb goes: "Failure is the mother of success." Since we are still children we know little about everything. Therefore, we dare to try new things untill we are scolded or punished. From the moment we are told that we have made a mistake we realize what the better ways are to behave ourselves. That is how we learn from errors.

The other days, I had a fight with my sister, Lipyn. I just could not bare her anymore. Because we live in one room, we share clothes. Lipyn has a habit to do the laundry on weekend while I don't insist on washing clothes on that certain day. When she takes clothing to the washing machine I do my own business. Which really drives her crazy. She thinks that I never care about things we share; but, I would like to plan MY schedule!! Then, we find out that we both are not completely right and apologize to each other.

I figure out that I have to tell her my feeling at the right time. I should not have stood her for this long so I lose my temper, shout at her. Instead, I have to think of one way to express myself in a proper way in order she understands me. Otherwise, we will still have quarrels. So as Lipyn, she gets the picture that she ought to try new ways to get along with me, who has her own ideas and plans.

Making mistakes make me and Lipyn grow. We are not good at living with another person; therefore we have incorrect ways to communicate with each other: silence. Nevertheless, after the conflict I have a new idea to get together with Lipyn. That is "interaction."
