mistakes are human nature. by doing mistakes we can gain many new things. scientists did so many mistakes and discovered so many new things. but some people thinks that only cowards will do mistakes and they are not fit for anything. its not correct. every human in this world do mistakes. i do mistakes sometimes. but i will not stop there. i will analyse what went wrong and try to overcome those mistakes to lead a happy life. how do you feel after committing mistakes and how do you overcome?

It's a reflex action of mine to apologize whenever I did a mistake to anyone or about my work. Apologizing for what we have done is the least we can do for the meantime after a mistake and not to redo it again next time. Mistakes also helps us to be careful to work or not to do same thing again.

Yeah, but there are some individuals who doesn't accept apologies for a mistake done to them because they thought it was done intentionally. We learned also from our mistakes too and become better person.

Mistakes sometimes helps us to learn. It's okay to commit mistakes. I look down myself whenever I commit mistakes. I call myself stupid if I commit mistakes. It makes me lowers my self-esteem. Now, that I had changed my views in life, I realized that mistakes will eventually helps us realize to improve ourselves.

craziestqueen: I think we all do that and it is highly unfair. I am glad that you have changed your views, I talk a lot about respect for other people, as I believe it is essential trait for all of us to have. I think you should give yourself a break and some respect. It does not make us stupid to make mistakes, it is just a human flaw. It only makes us stupid if we don't learn from our mistakes.

You are right and I agree with you. Human as we are we normally make mistakes. And I think God has a good purpose for allowing us to make mistakes. You know, when you've done a mistake, you'll become very cautious not to do the same mistake again. And that's good, since we will be able to avoid doing it in the future. I do believe that everyone is vulnerable to make mistakes. So what we should do is to learn from it.

what you said is really correct.doing mistakes is not bad. but doing that same mistakes again is really not a good habit. god has given a chance to understand the purpose of life by doing mistakes. so we should not repeat the mistakes again and again and we should try to rectify it.

The first thing I do after connecting a mistake, no doubt, is to try to put an immediate remedy. Do not hide the fact that on this thing, I think, really think about it over, and often I feel bad for a little while, thinking about the possible negative consequences. Then when it's over, hopefully in the best way, I begin to reflect in order to avoid repeating this mistake in future. However, as you yourself have said, to err is human.

Before comment, i thank to you thank create an opportunity to give out my opinion, first of all i just wanna say that no one perfect. Everyone could do mistakes because the one with no mistake is God only. Another part is regret, a chance is to re-correct our mistake or wrong. We should say sorry if really we made a mistake accidentally. No accuse can be described for this situation.
Everyone is living with a life tolerant each other. This is the overcome for these kind situation that we are facing day to day. Say sorry and try to avoid making mistake or reduce it.

every mistakes has a chance to correct it. it is our smart work to find the correct way to change that mistake into the correct one. so dont feel worse for what you did. try to come out of it and analyse what went wrong and try to rectify that mistakes so that it can produce a fruitful solution.

I feel guilty about it and promise not to do it anymore.
Sometimes I can't sleep just thinking about it.
I oftenkeep asking myself why I did it.

after asking yourself why you did it,try to rectify the mistake you did. it will make you to feel happy and you will get some relaxation. mistakes are human nature. so dont hurt yourself by feeling guilty for a long time. better try to come out of it and try to fix the mistake so that you will get a better solution.

As humans, we are bound to make mistakes. I disagree with people who say that only cowards make mistakes. Cowards would not make mistakes as they would not try to do anything that would make it possible to make any mistakes. It takes courage to try new things. It takes character to admit that you have made a mistake. It helps to build character and knowledge to learn from your mistakes.
I generally feel foolish when I make mistakes as I find it is the silly stuff that I make mistakes at. I try to figure out what I did wrong, and what I can do to fix my error, and how to avoid repeating the same mistake.

no one is perfect, and mistakes give the greatest lessons in life. Every time i commit a mistake, my usual reaction would be frustration, having time to think it over, accepting that fact and then learning from it, so as not to commit doing the same mistake again. Obviously, there is no better way of overcoming mistakes by careful evaluation of every situation including it effects.

very beautiful and straight forward response. we wont gain anything if we sit and think about that mistake always. instead we should try to come out of it,rectify it and try to avoid that mistake again. that is the mantra of life. doing a mistake once is not so bad. doing it again and again is the worst part. so we should try to avoid mistakes.

if it's a mistake because of impetuousness, I usually just shake my head and a biting grin on my face. Sometimes I just smile of it.

I felt really terrible when i dig up past or mistakes made by my frenemies, so i never tried doing it again. I felt really guilty and it's like my conscience is eating me.
