Learn from the mistakes of others. You cant make them all yourself.
-Quoted by Usher, Confessions

Yea, that hottie's (aka Usher) right.

Mistake No. 1:
We've seen other people jump off crazily from the cliff. But no matter how stupid we think they are, our undying curiousity always seems to get the best of us, and we jump off right with them.
The rewards and costs that come with the thrill of pushing ourselves to our limits are the things that we've got left to handle.
Some people opt to watch from afar as people deal with their own share of crap in this world.
The more caring ones bother to grab them by the arm, and remind them that it isnt worth it.

Mistake No.2:
We may have heard of people who who decide to hide behind the lies and hope that the mask they put on would work for them.
Unfortunately, once they actually decide to show their faces, the people whom they thought they already knew, turn their backs at them in the blink of an eye.
If they're lucky enough though, they'd find real friends (who are rare nowadays) who would be willing to see through them and embrace their whole being.

Mistake No.3:
What is wrong with having to like someone who was someone else's "someone" in the past?
We already know of the fact that among the millions of people in this world, we can actually only choose from a small number of legit and available searchees like ourselves.
And I dont think we always have to have the notion that just because you are now someone's interest, it doesnt mean that you're just a rebound or a second choice.
After all, change is the only permanent thing in this world, and if there's one thing that is absolutely susceptible to change...its our emotions.
No matter how untangible they may seem, we more or less have a picture of whom that organ inside our chest is "pumping" for.
So I think many people are mistaken when they think that you are less than the person he or she once had feelings for, because in fact, i think you are better...way better.

Mistake No. 4:
I'm sure girls know of this blunder that guys often commit.
Whenever a guy decides to court a girl, they usually are at their best.
They show you how much of a gentleman they are, how they are nice, sweet, caring, thoughtful, generous, smart...and all those other adjectives girls usually look for in their boyfriend-to-be.
But I think guys should know better than to just be that "good guy".
If you want her to really know you, show him the whole you, not just the bright, goodie-goodie part.
She should end up liking you for who you really are, not for the person she thought you were.
And besides, if you have enough courage to show the other part of you, the real you, I'm sure she'll love you not just because of who you are, but even despite of all the things you're not. Now that's real...
