Mistake Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
Mistakes. Everyone makes them. Mistakes make us human. Not a single individual’s life is perfect, and that’s how it’s supposed to be. Mistakes are choices you make for yourself daily that mold you into who you are. Everyone is different because of their mistakes. Mistakes are things you know you shouldn't do, but you end up doing them anyway. They may seem like the end of the world sometimes, but really, they're just a piece of the puzzle that is your life.
Maybe now you're thinking of of your biggest mistake. That guy or girl you dated, and you let it drag on even when you didn't have any interest in them anymore. Or how about that time you cheated on a test? Oooh, or when you took a few dollars out of your mom's purse?

People make mistakes, we screw up, and we suck, we suck at life and that's what makes us all related. Our one commonality with every other citizen of the universe is making mistakes.
So, yes, I make mistakes. But, honestly, who cares? I certainly don’t. My mistakes make me who I am, and I love that person. I love my flaws, my weaknesses, my defects and more importantly myself. And that, my friends, is the key to life. Being happy and learning to love myself unconditionally, because I am the only person who has to live with me forever. Everyone else in my shitty messed up life can come and go, but I'm stuck with me until the end of time, and I am 100 percent okay with

Biologist Lewis Thomas describes this as being “ the very base of human thought, embedded there, feeding the structure like root nodules.” Without the mistake there is nothing to grow from and expand your knowledge on. If you were to get everything correct at all times there would be nothing to educate yourself with after the fact, making the reaction to be considered worthless. The beginning of mistakes is the beginning to a new solution that has not been discovered yet.…
