What my parents call "mistakes"--my brief stay in law school, my aborted career in politics, my divorce, my abandoned sales career--have led me to a new understanding of myself and the world. If I hadn't left law school, I wouldn't have gone into politics. If I hadn't left politics, I wouldn't have met my former husband. If I hadn't gotten divorced, I wouldn't have found my sales job. If it weren't for my sales job, I wouldn't have launched my new movie production company. I've taken the scenic route through my 20s, and what I've seen along the way has been well worth the pain. The only real mistake is not believing in yourself enough to walk away from jobs and relationships that no longer fit you.

Wow, I don´t even know what to write, specially about the line The only real mistake is not believing in yourself enough to walk away from jobs and relationships that no longer fit you. It took me seven years to do that, and I am still recovering in a sort of way. Accept my congratulations on your point of view.

Wow from me too! What a revelation. I think from what you've said things happen for a reason. It might not be on accordance with you but still they lead on to more rewarding path. Next time I came across a crossroad in my life, i'll look for an oppurtunity and not the down side.

I distract myself from it, essentially. I throw myself into something that occupies my mind and my time. It works for me, most of the time.

I wish I can do the same with the not to do it again. Often times, I learn the hard way.

The best thing to do is to take a short vacation for the next few days, leave your responsibilities behind, and just relax. Trust me, it works!

i try to accept all the mistakes that i had done and try to make it up for it. for instance, i had lived in with my girlfriend and now we have two child, life had become more harder and harder. i can see the pain and hardship in my mother's eye and the frustration from my father's eye. all i can do for now is to work hard for my family and for my parents. i can not turn back time and re arrange my past but i can do much better now in my life for my 2 son and for my self.
