Mistakes - what have you learnt from them?

    We can view mistakes as failures and give up - or we can see them as springboards to catapult us into a much better - maybe even great - future.
    Do you have any personal gems to share? What mistakes did you make and what did you learn from them?

    i don't view a mistake as a failure, more like what not to do.

    well mistake...ummm... i learnt a lot...i was real short tempered, and Trust me, i created mess many times, even at college with my lecturers...but gradually, I had to loose my reputation and friends as well... Worked real hard to get all that back...and now...I am happy that I learnt and changed myself for the good..And if you are one like me too...I will surely advice you to seprate your temper from you...You will be a winner...:) All the best

    It is easy to say that we can learn things from the mistakes, but the truth is people are the kind of anmial, who will forget the pain when the wound is healed!

    Who said that the experience is the name that we give to the mistakes that we made!

    I think all mistakes are the best way to learn. I don't think people are allowed to make enough mistakes anymore; Like childproofing houses. Yes, I understand that Little Timmy might be electrocuted if Mommy and Daddy aren't too careful, but whether he lives or dies, he'll only be electrocuted once. ;)
