"Mistakes are a part of being human, appreciate your mistakes for what they are- precious life lessons that can only be learnt the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from." -Al Franken Sometimes it can be a painful lesson. Is it worth it?

We never make mistakes to learn from it .We always want to do ti right the first time but inadvertently mistakes do happen. Now, our choice is to whether learn from it or curse ourselves and just leave it half way . I think , the road is clear that we have to learn from our mistakes and better ourselves. That way , we stay positive. Ofcourse they can be painful or sometimes trivial but if not something earth-shattering , we can atleast learn to avoid that one mistake that just happened. Happy learning :)

I never thought of it that way. Your right, we don't set out to make mistakes. BUT, sometimes when mistakes are made it creates a differnet opportunity that we would otherwise not have had... As long as the learning is made and not ignored.

I like that one. I think everything is a learning experience. Sometimes failing creates other opportunities.
