Learning from past mistakes
In this post I’ll talk about some of my errors in the past. I think it’s very important to use this experiences to learn and don’t commit the same errors again. Thinking positive is neccesary to succeed.
Don’t let others get you down. Many people (usually false friends) are just envious and want you to be down instead of learn from you and improve. In 2002 I was running a website about linux and programming tutorials with a PR 5 and about 1000 unique visits per day. That website generated about 120$ per month with Google Adsense and TradeDoubler. I know it was not very much, but I think it was a success since it was my first attempt to run a website in a domain. Talking with a person, he said me that websites was a stupid way to earn money because if it was possible all people would do it. In that time I was depressed for some reasons and I just let the domain expire (!). I lose years of work, hundreds of dollars and a promising website that now could be a great one.
Rather than get down, now I have learned that I can’t get down by the comments of others. You are what you think you are, not what others say you are. Get rid of all unproductive thoughts and focus on what you love.
“The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.” - old Chinese saying.

Mistakes are not bad, just learning experiences. Good stuff can still come from a mistake, you learned something didnt you?
Sure.
Mistakes are the teachers of the wise man.
