Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried
anything new. Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your
mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned
the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn
from. Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes. We must not say every mistake is a foolish one. Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life.
Laughing at someone else's can shorten it. Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes;
and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all. Just because you make
a mistake doesn’t mean you are a mistake.
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be
continually fearing you will make one. Acknowledge that you failed, draw your lessons from
it, and use it to your advantage to make sure it never happens again. There are no mistakes, save one: the failure to learn
from a mistake. Only those who do nothing at all make no mistakes... but that would
be a mistake.
