Mistake 2

One mistake I make is getting frustrated if I can’t figure something out. I get tired, and think I can keep going, but I actually need to rest. I get really annoyed at myself when I make a mistake after a while, and then I get frustrated.

One example of this is me building Legos. I like to build Legos, so I try to build for as long as I can. After a bit, though, I get tired. I want to keep going, too, though, so I don’t stop to rest despite warnings from my mom. I keep building, but then I find out I have made a big mistake and have to go all the way back to the start. I get really frustrated but still I refuse to stop building, and that just makes it worse. I think I should improve by taking breaks once in a while. Resting on the bed will help me calm down a bit and help prevent frustration.

Another example of this is me coding on the computer. I like to code, and I try to do some every day. I can get annoyed, though, when my code doesn't work even though I think it should obviously work. I keep trying to fix it, but it still doesn't work. I want to fix it by myself, though, so I don’t ask for any help. I keep trying, but by now I’m really annoyed with the computer. I can’t believe it doesn't do what is obviously right. I think I should ask some questions if it doesn't work. I shouldn't be afraid to ask – I’ll learn something I didn't know!

There’re many mistake I've made, but I think frustration is one of the biggest ones. I really think I should take breaks and ask questions more to prevent frustration.
