Learning From Our Mistakes

"I have learned more from my mistakes

than from my success."

 Sir Humphrey Davy, British Chemist and Inventor 1778-1829  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Learning from our mistakes

We learn lessons from our past, from both our successes and our mistakes.  

The lessons that we learn from our mistakes can offer a greater opportunity for success in the future than what we learn from our successes. Our mistakes create life lessons that give us the insight on what to do in the future to create greater success and what to avoid.  

Mistakes are a window into our past and offers excellent opportunities to learn and benefit from them in the future. 

Experiences become a great teacher but can also be very expensive lessons.  Our experiences offer an opportunity to look at new challenges in a new insight. We are able to draw on the lessons from our past to make better use of our time and to focus our efforts on the most productive areas of our life.  

Learning from our mistakes creates an excellent opportunity to play those lessons forward for greater success.

Hi Lou,

I think the best lessons anyone can learn are by making mistakes.  Cindy

Hi Lou, someone very wise once told me, you're not working if you aren't making mistakes -- they are just a part of learning and growing, (unfortunately)  :-)

Lou,  And it's amazing how we remember them!  Each mistake is a learning experience if you take the time to learn from it.  Enjoy the weekend.
