How do you deal with your mistakes?

Hi dear very nice post, Sure if u will move in professional field, u make mistakes and one must learn from it, but u know Rose to learn from ur mistake u must admit it as mistake as only then u can take corrective measure and avoid to make it happe next time. And this is called Experience But one must try not to committ same mistake twice as then its not mistake but negligence. Its saying " to err is human" and sure we all are human being, wee have to deal with various situations in professional and personal life and have to take decesions based on Pros and cons of matter, or u can get guideline from experiences of other tooo. Well, i admit my mistakes and then try to over come it Best Regards

I have been bit quirky all through my life. Taking my decisions through heart and not quite thinking with head has made me do stuffs that have caused me great hurts. I have been heart broken time and again. But all for my bad decisions, my mistakes so to say. But never did I suppressed myself for that. Learning from my mistakes, standing up, standing tall and doing what I have felt right is essentially MYSELF. I can never change but I can learn. I am a fast learner I must tell you and that helps even with all those pangs of stupidity.

oh yes the only thing you can get from a mistake is the lesson that is there to be learnt, as there is a lesson in there somewhere in every mistake...

Yes everyone who does something in this life will make mistakes at some time or other in our life as we are not perfect in any way. Probably the most important thing we can do is to learn from our mistakes and hopefully not make the same ones again. In many ways I think that we learn much more about our mistakes when they cost us money, or as a farmer that has been my experience. Mistakes teach us lessons in life and hopefully also show us the right/correct way to do things in the future. My Dad used to say that if the only lesson we learn from a mistake is not to do that same thing again then we are well ahead. When people do not learn from their mistakes and continually repeat the same process, it can have an adverse effect on their self-esteem and confidence. If the mistakes happen too often it can also become that they expect to fail so before they even start, they are thinking negatively. That often means they cannot look for a different way to do something, i.e. “paralysed from trying out new openings in life” as you so succinctly put it Rose. It is even worse when it happens to a child or for a child to witness it happening to someone special and significant in their life, i.e. a parent, grandparent, favourite relation, teacher or someone similar. Yes we do need a healthy attitude to learn from our mistakes and we need to learn that from a very young age so that as we grow into adulthood we do not fear that things will go wrong if we change the way our parents and others have always done things. One of the things I think that parents should do when they have made a mistake is to admit it to themselves and their child and also why the same thing will not happen again. That is they have looked for how and where they went wrong and what they will do to make sure that it is not repeated. There is no point at all in running away from our mistakes. That does not change the situation or make it go away but instead just delays the time when we have to deal with it. Also the longer time we put off dealing with something that has an adverse affect on us, the harder it is to rectify the situation. Great discussion Rose and thanks for starting it.

i try to see actually what went wrong. it helps me to retrospect. also it is better to look at the core of the mistake. I try to take lesson and never repeat this.

I always believe that experience is our best teacher... and wen it comes to making mistakes... that should make us and not break us... i think God will not give us challenges in life that we cannot handle... so when i make a mistake... i consider that as a lesson to be learned and remembered so as not to commit the same one again...

Mistakes are not only my teacher but an eye-opener to me too. most of us are sensible enough to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them. But to me, my mistakes are also an indication of what and how much I am capable of. There have been many incidents where I have gone ahead without a thought for the consequences. But failures, when they have come, have also been a sort of warning to me to chose my course of action with care so as not to get hurt again.

I try my best to learn from my mistakes. I try not to repeat them. Mistakes give us some invaluable experience and we should always take a new lesson from our mistakes. I believe, we all are prone to mistake and we commit it intentionally or unintentionally. When we act upon something, we assume that we are doing the right thing, only when we get adverse results, we realise that we have committed a blunder. I do not feel much guilty or think too much after making a mistake, I try to analyse, why and how I did it and what can I do so that it may not be repeated in future. Very Good Post!!

I do deal with my mistakes since i have gone through a lot of failures in my life i try to corret from my mistakes but sometimes that itself becomes a mistake..i try and correct my mistakes everytime..i listen tomy mind and think what wrong i have done to correct myself..this attitude of mine has made me to do good always and now i think i just make in small mistake unlike before and i try to correct those small things also... Happy Mylotting

I try to avoid the same mistakes again. It's hard to avoid mistakes, but I can't stand that I will make the same twice. A mistake shall make me remember it quite well. I love China

Hi Rose, Thank you for this discussion and I would agree with you. I try to learn from my mistakes, but I never run away. As you say we all make mistakes and it's important to know that. As the old saying goes, the only person who doesn't make a mistake is the one who doesn't do anything. We should never be that person. Blessings.

Hi Rose, I agree with you. I think we have the right to do mistakes (lol). If I do any mistake, I never forgot the same and next time I will be very careful so that it won't happen again. I think most of the people are learning from their mistakes and who they don't are may be careless people. Our experience is a great teacher and we can learn many things from our experience.

There are a few experiences in my past that have stopped me from trying out anything new in that field. It is because I am afraid of repeating my mistakes. Probably do not want to fail again.
