Commonly, when you did something terrible, people ask you to stop;
"Your food tastes horrible. Don't cook after this"
"You cut it hideously. Let me do it"

And because of that, we are not getting an opportunity to try. At least try. Because failure is seemed as an indignity. You are bad because you messed up things. Hey, we are human right? We never get it right until we try multiple times.

I did an atrocious thing today. I forgot to turn off the stove. Fortunately, the stove is running out of gas. it is bad, I swear. I am careless. It is my fault. I kept quiet when my parents advice me and tell me their frustration over me for being that reckless. I could not blame them. I am responsible for my malpractice.

But when my mom said "Never cook after this unless in my surveillance. Or mybe just don't cook"

I replied, "I accept it is my fault mom. Thank you for advising me. I am responsible for my action and I promise myself to become more concious, but I don't agree to disallow me to learn cooking alone or under your supervision. I am already 19. I realize I am inadequate in soft skills. I need to learn more, especially about awareness and detailling. I hope you give me an opportunity"

She nodded. I'm glad. I'm glad I have such an understading mom who listen to me. I'm not lecturing her. She's wiser than me. I just want her to see that I'm growing up. She has to let me experience the bitterness of the world and learn from it. She might see me as a kid, who cried to her when I fell down from my three wheels bicycle. But, believe me, I'm a grown up boy. Not yet a man. But, I'll keep improving myself. Give me a chance to learn and unleash my potential.

Thank you mom.
I'll act better.
