I’d like to give you a personal development menu… Just like menus from restaurants wherein differing foods and drinks are served, life also has its self growth listings to enjoy your existence. Different persons have their own individual tastes that makes them smiling and optimistic. Find out what can be served for substantive development, they may help to keep your life enjoyable, inspiring, meaningful, and interesting.
Personal development menu:
1. Help.
Help yourself by helping the people in need, the handicapped, the ailing, the poor, the broken-hearted, the homeless, the lost, and the environment. The list can go on and on. Help. When you support the needy - in any forms - the returns are ten folds over, this law is stated in all major world religions. But, don’t wait for anything in return. Just the contentedness you feel in your heart is an incomparably satisfaction and personal fulfillment. Giving something with an open heart and without expecting anything in return is indefectible. Originate yourself as the man on the receiving end. You can’t wait to revert the favor once you get the occasion to do so.
2. No bad news.
Let’s face the personal development entity. Existence has its particle of disasters and misfortunes. Bad news exists and it disturbs your intellect. Your subconscious mind absorbs everything it sees, hears, feels. You cannot control this, its just the way it is. The more bad news you hear, the more bad your subconscious intellect absorbs, the more negative comes into your existence. Entirely ignoring it may not always be the best answer to anticipate life in a realistic way. However, you can always determine ways to avoid being affected by it to maintain the predominance of life’s beauty.
3. See your mistakes as an opportunity.
Everyone makes mistakes, why not to turn this from viewing like personal problem into viewing like an opportunity for self improvement. Look at the lessons that can be derived from disaster. Mistakes lets you determine and see personal development opportunities hidden behind adversities. Always find a positive meaning from every single event in your vitality. Value every lesson that you learn.

Your comments on viewing mistakes as an opportunity make a good point.
I was looking at a video recently in which ten scientistis from various disciplines were interviewed.
A common thread among these interviews was that some of the scientists greatest insights came from mistakes or failures alnong their research paths.
So they tended to regard these failures as growth opportunities from which they gained some knowledge for moving forward.

i also think that seeing mistakes as opportunities is essential. you can not succeed without making mistakes. mistakes are your teachers. mistakes can actually be diamonds in the rough. suppose you are doing something that works but it is not getting you the results you thought it would. if you view that as a mistake and re think it you will be on your way to getting the results you expected.
