Make mistakes and also take corrections. This is one of the things i learnt in this forum as Newbie and it's helped me through my journey this far so I decided to create this thread to help encourage other new members. It's in our human nature to make errors, that's to say that they’re inevitable and bound to happen but the most important thing is to take corrections, learn from the mistakes, to avoid making more errors.

 There are some errors that people make out of ignorance, for instance wrong quoting or posting on the wrong board, do not panic when you make such errors, normally as a Newbie you're here to learn and impact knowledge when you can therefore you should see those errors as a learning process. Also, there are members that would take it upon themselves to bring such errors to your notice and probably give you the necessary corrections, now that's where taking corrections comes in, do not panic it might lead you to make more errors while you're in a rush to correct yourself, take your time, take note of your mistakes so as not to make more similar ones in future and correct them carefully.

 Sometimes you might feel you're making the right points, giving your opinions about some threads but do not feel threatened when someone quote you wrong, try to prove yourself right if you're sure of your points or take corrections if you discover they're right. Note that no one knows it all and there are lots of people on here that might be far more inteligent than you, so sometimes instead of arguing it's best to take corrections and learn.

We are all human, and no one is above mistakes on this forum. We need to learn from our mistakes and accept corrections from other old members, some newbies do not like taking corrections on this forum, and there is a saying that he who wants to learn should not raise his shoulders. We see different threads on this forum where some newbies refuse to take correction and keep arguing because they believe they are right. We must accept something in order to learn from others, we cannot get knowledge only from one person.

However, I think that many newbies are no longer active on this forum because they do not like correction, they believe they are always right in their thread, and when any old members try to correct them, they assume they are insulting them. We cannot expect everybody to respond to newbies the same way because we do not have the same methods here. So we must deal with different words from different people and endure them to achieve our goals on this forum.
