What was your biggest mistake in your life?? WHat happened?? How did it affect you at that time?? What did you learn from the mistake?? 'No one is perfect,everyone do have mistakes, the important thing is we can learn from mistakes and do not do it again in the future'

If would say that I got married way to soon and probably the marriage was doomed to failure from the beginning.\ I was 21 and she was 20 and it was the fault of no-one that the marriage failed. It happened because we barely gave ourselves a chance to start out in life and explore new horizons before committing to a marriage. I think people should wait until they are mid to late twenties before even considering marriage. It is a big world out there. Go and explore before being tied down to a huge commitment like marriage.

ya i have done a mistake but not by chance but by knowing whole the facts. just for saving a whole family if on that time i was taken a wrong step against that family may be whole family will destroy their whole lives and small children but now i think this is not a mistake if in real life some one comes to know that than i think it is a bigger mistake ever in this world some one is done

Drinking and smoking, really affect me now until this time. If I don't quit this earliier my life won't last long. And the situation is different from drinkers and non drinkers. Nondrinkers are healthier than drinkers.

Ohh so many I have made in my life..lol..But i will say the biggest mistake or regret is when i had a scholarship to tri tech when i was 18...i blew it off at forst for a year to get partying out of my system..and just go wild..well that became another year..and another..and soon all i did was work and party..I know i was irresponsible,but i didnt care...and i blew my future,,and blew out my back at my job..so if i would have went to school..i never would have got hurt....sigh...but later in my late 20;s i took some pc classes,,but then i became disabled shortly after that...but i got a beautiful baby boy also..so maybe i wouldnt have had him if i went to school...hummm...maybe it was just my fate the way things went huh?

marrying my first hubby it lasted 5 years but was off and on I was always throwing him out of the house! Then he moved away to another state but he came back for me and I thought that maybe a new start where no one knew us would be good idea well he was at his old tricks before he came got me then I found out he was still going out on me! I left for good It also took me yearss and years to trust my 2nd hubby if he didnt come home I would go find him we lasted 42 1/2 years together then he passed away. never jump into a marriage when young and stupid thinking it will all work out in the end it dont

Mistakes are learning opportunities and being open to that is the best way to grow and advance in life. Must say that none of my mistakes were ever huge. Have made steady progress throughout my life. Occasionally some of us have to relearn.

I think one of my biggest mistakes was getting married without making sure we were right for each other. Not even 4 moths after he cheated on me. I knew it was wrong. The next time if I get married again I will make sure it is right.

I honestly can't think of anything that was so bad that it still impacts me today. I have lived such a blessed life! I'm know there were times I could have showed more compassion to others and I did not. This is something that I have striven to correct over the years. Yeah, I should have been compasionate sooner in my life.

My biggest mistake was smoking marihuana when i was 16 years old,i dont know how my parents knew i was smoking marihuana,i never asked them because they were so dissapointed to me,so i wont ask them who betrayed me.I dont want to remember them. Marihuana damages brain cells and makes it hard for someone to learn or think.I never knew the consequences.But i've learn my mistake,i dont want to dissapoint anyone,especially my family.

My biggest mistake was when i meet my first boyfriend few years ago,may be i was still young at that time and i was not mature,i did not listen to the saying of my friends and parents,they all told me that guy was not a good guy but tricky, I was deceived by his 'sweet words' , I had high expectations on the relationship but end up with sadness and disappointment.....

The biggest mistake was marrying my first husband a month after I knew him and even staying with him even though he was physically abusive. I was an emotional wreck at the time. I had two children. I learned from that mistake not to run into a relationship again.

The biggest mistake of my life would be when I remarried again. I got a divorced from my kids dad..We had been togeather since I was 15 years old..After a lot of years we ended up in divorce..I was so dependant on him that I thought i had to have a man in my life in order to live,What a mistake...I married a man that was a worse control freak than the first..I divorced him 2 months into the marriage....Then swore off men,but ended up getting married again,still am, and that is another big mistake..So if this one ever ends ,My plans are to keep away from getting married ever again...I have grown up now and find that you do not have to have a man to make you a whole person...

I don't think I've made a big mistake yet. I can't call my children a mistake. I had my first child at 16 even though I wish I would have waited a little longer. or just until I was financially free. Now I have 4 boys and a husband. so no I don't have a biggest misatke.

The biggest mistake in my life that i gave much money to invest. Previously i was very careless about expending the money. But now i knew the 'real' value of the money. Actully my father didn't considered my money expenditure. And now as i understood the real value of money, i will not repeat such fullish things again in my life.
