I learn from my mistakes. Life is the time for people to make mistakes and learn from mistakes. I know that sometimes it is hard for us to learn from our mistakes because of different perceptions in life but I try my very best to learn and change my mindset if it is necessary for me to learn the right things.

exactly. its necessary to learn where you make mistakes. most of the instances we fail ti identify our mistakes & in turn repeat them till it harms us. So lets not failure be the measuring stick of the mistakes we make but its our own conscience or perception that should decide the mistake. Thank you for responding me. I hope you agree to my theory...

Yes, if I remembered my mistakes.
I remember when I was young, about 8years old, I failed my spelling test again. In order to avoid being punished, it forged my mum's signature. My teacher didn't suspect anything. I was relieved and happy.
It was only till my next spelling that my mum caught me. haha.. I think I am either too smart or too stupid. It was because I had everything correct for my next spelling. I was proud enough to show my mum my spelling book. Opps..
But I did not expect my mum to check my previous spelling to find out she had not seen the result and had not even signed it. Double Oops... I sure can laugh about this now.. haha...
She was so angry that she caned me till there are caned marks on my hands and legs. I was punished to stand outside the house for a few hours even. They were still swollen when I go to school the next day. I still remember that period of time, caning children is still the way to punish your children. Child abuse wasn't a news then.
That really make me remember what I have done. I never forged another signature. My mum even changed her signature from that day onwards to a difficult one. I guess I learned my lesson. I even had a signature that is difficult to be forged.

So much for a simple mistake !!!You will definitely never mimic another's signature ,never ever in your life I am sure. I really wonder if the mistake is such that you would nvr have got caught,than would that have changed you without punishment ?? Or we shouldn't consider something a mistake if its not caught by any one else or get punished ??

I suppose if I wasn't caught at all. I would not have realised it is a mistake. I might think it is easy to get away with it. Which may make me a different person from what I am, that is not good!Furthermore, I can't imagine what I would do if I wasn't caught... Maybe I would think forging is so easy that I may not have a proper job. I might even go into forging full time. LOL! Just like Leonardo in "Catch me if you can"...
Funny that I can think of this as a joke now... I was so guilt ridden then outside the door that day. All I was thinking then, (I still remembers), how could I have thought of forging? My mum was so disappointed in me.
I learnt to tell face my consequences then, at least to face what I choose to do. It is worse when I try to hide and run from it. If i had choose to learn my spelling then, I would not have being caned. If I face my mum then with my result, I would not have forge the signature and end up facing an even harsh punishment.
It all comes up to the choice you make. Seriously, I am careful with what I chose to do. And I face whatever consequences based on my choices.

I think that everyone will make mistakes and can not be afraid of mistakes, because mistakes and more experience will learn more. Moreover, I think not only from their own mistakes in the Fan, lessons should also be people from the wrong side, the lessons learned. In this way, only faster progress.

Hi,
Of course everybody makes mistakes, that is just life. I too have made many mistakes throughout my life but I have learned from them and adjusted. Each time not making the exact same mistake.
Life is a huge learning curve that should be throughly enjoyed!!
Life is for living not worrying about the muistake you made 5 minutes ago!!
Have fun

I cannot say exactly about this. Not from all my mistakes I learn. I do learn from some of my mistakes but surely not from all.

Everybody learns from their mistakes, but some fail to prevent themselves from repeating their mistakes they had earlier committed. I think life is the best teacher as it teaches us everything in practicals, no theory. We are given tasks by the god and we complete them according to our potentials and capabilities. I have learned many things in life and I always keep in mind not to repeat my mistakes. Hope you liked my response, my friend.
