Majority of times I have learned from my Mistakes but the one I will probably never learn is I am to soft and I get a kick in the teeth most of the time for it
And to be honest I will never learn from that one lol as I am just far to soft to say no or be harsh about things

Well I guess its hard to learn from our mistakes. Sometimes we even end up repeating them like the saying "history repeats itself". We just have to try harder to learn from them and try not to repeat them. Better to learn from the mistakes of others though. Don't you agree?

oh, i always do. whenever i commit mistakes, i try to think about it.. think where i went wrong... and i don't forget about it. i carry it inside my head.. and i avoid committing the same mistake again.

I think it's very possible to learn from mistakes. I think that sometimes you have to make the same mistake repeatedly before you finally learn, but I think it's definitely a part of life to learn and move forward. Certainly if you've ever burned your hand on a stove or other hot object in your house, you will be much less likely to put your hand there again!
Some of the lessons are so hard! Some are easy. Some are actually pretty funny. Sometimes I have had the experience of having an unfortunate thing happen and think, "There's got to be a lesson in here somewhere.... but WHAT IS IT????"
And sometimes I really wish that I could have learned faster. But, yes, I definitely believe that we can learn and improve from the mistakes that we make in life, and I'm very glad of it.
