Nobody is (im)perfect...

Nobody is perfect. This phrase is common in many cultures and it exists in many languages. But do we really believe that?
Most of the people try constantly to improve their lives, and they often follow examples. This examples can be, for exmample, people that have more money, a more attractive appearance or simply more success in their work. These people seem to live a better life because they seem to be more perfect than ourselfs.
However, if you look closer, or if we actually get to know them, we can recognize that they also have imperfections. In my opinion, people like following these examples because this imagination of perfection drives them to strive for a better life. At the end, there doesn't exist any perfection. We all make mistakes, and many times we can't succeed. Positive thinkers might believe that there's always the chance to change a bad situation, and to turn it into something better. By contrast, a negative thinker might believe that from the beginning on there didn't have existed any chances to avoid bad things that happen to us, and that we don't have the power to change anything.
I believe that we all should keep on trying to find our way and the life we want to have. In order to succeed we need to try to avoid mistakes. If we make mistakes, we should recognize them but we shouldn't become desperate. The only way to turn a mistake into something positive is to learn from it. And sometimes it's necessary to commit mistakes in order to get to know the way to do it right.
Finally it's not about making mistakes. It's about how to handle mistakes, and how to see the new chance of doing it differently after having made the mistake.
