No one is perfect. This is why pencils were made with erasers, and apologies were created. Many of us in life have made mistakes, big or small. We all don't know everything that we should know, and most certainly we are always trying to get better at something that we do. To some people it might seem like a person has everything going for them, or that everything gets handed to them too easy. Like they are perfect. But in reality, they are just as imperfect as everyone else in this world.
No matter who you are I am positively sure that you have made some kind of mistake in your lifetime. Even the most famous and important people have messed up a few times too many. Making mistakes is part of life, and you can never get hard on yourself just because you might have messed up a little bit. Always take this opportunity to learn from your faults and know how to handle the situation next time, or even avoid it altogether so there is no chance of it happening again. No one is perfect, making a mistake is not going to be the end of your life. But it might just benefit you in the future.
There are always going to be really smart people in the world, but just because they are smart does not mean that they know everything. At some point, everybody wishes to be smarter and that is never a bad thing. But have the urge to be smarter for the amount of knowledge you are going to gain not because you want to be smarter than someone else. Because honestly, the chances are they really are not as smart as they come across to be. Making mistakes helps you gain experience which in the end makes you smarter. Being imperfect can really have its advantages. Being smart is never about the number of questions you can answer correctly or the number of A's on your report card. It's about being able to do things to your best ability.
That one person that you think has the best life, and you think is so smart, didn't just wake up one day and have all of that handed to them. These people are not perfect. They actually work hard for what they have and they plan on keeping it that way or possibly even making it better. But why would someone you consider to be perfect want their lives to get any better? Maybe to them, there is no perfect like I said; maybe there is always space to get better. Just because things look good from the outside, does not mean that it really is good on the inside. People only show what they want others to see. They could be struggling with something internally and you would never hear about it. Never assume that someone is "perfect" by just looking at them. Some people have made a lot of mistakes just to get where they are now.
There is always room to make mistakes and learn, and work hard, and even grow as a person. Everyone has made a mistake in their life, no one has learned everything the world has to offer them. Not one person who has walked on this planet has claimed the title of being perfect. Everyone has their flaws, and being imperfect is just human.
