1. We are all human and nobody is perfect.

If we live our entire lives striving for perfection, how can we ever be truly happy with ourselves? Nothing will never be good enough. We have to realize that success and happiness are not found in perfection, but in accepting our flaws, learning, growing, and becoming a better person from them.

2. It can be cute and funny.

It's inevitable that sometimes we do really dumb stuff. For example, like when we trip over our own two feet, or say something really stupid. There's always a bright side to our own stupidity. In this case, it can be good to make people laugh. Laughing at yourself is the best medicine to cure embarrassment. You could also use it to your advantage, like if you make a funny mistake, maybe people will feel bad for you.

3. You can learn from your mistakes.

According to Psychology Today, mistakes can make you smarter.

Even though there has been "confirmation bias," Kelly McGonigal Ph.D., says there are two typical brain responses to mistakes. "The second brain response looks more like a shutting down. The brain reacts to the negative feedback itself as a threat. To escape feeling bad, or doubting one's abilities, the brain chooses to not think about the mistake. Interesting, people whose brains show this shutting down response pay much more attention to positive feedback."

4. Sometimes it's OK to fake it til' you make it.

Just admit it, we all have to do this at times. A last minute paper? An unprepared presentation? An awkward interview? Fake it til' you make it baby! Gotta do what you gotta do.

5. You're not dumb, but you might be uninformed.

We live in a world full of ignorance, yet many people cannot be at fault for miseducation. It's ok to ask questions if you are unsure, but it's not ok to just assume. It is important to learn from other people. Let them show you things. Listen to people's stories. Inquire about things you never heard of or don't understand. Education is as important as ever.

Life is quite the learning process, all we can do is learn from our mistakes in order to move forward.
