Don’t Make the Same Mistake a Second Time

Don’t Make the Same Mistake a Second Time 

“Success does not consist in never making a

 mistake.  But in never making the

 same one a second time.”

George Bernard Shaw 1856 – 1950, Irish Playwright,

Critic, Polemicist, Founder of the London, School,

Economics and Political Science

 

 

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Don’t make the same mistake a second time

 

About the only time that we don’t make mistakes . . . . is when we’re doing nothing. But doing nothing is the mistake . . . . of not using our time productively . . .  . and wasting our talent.

 

Mistakes will happen . . . . When they do . . . . use them as a learning experience . . . . and make the comment to yourself not to repeat same mistake in the future.

 

Use a mistake as a building block to becoming better at what you do . . . . Also when you learn for your mistake . . . . there will be an eternal alarm that will go off in your sub-conscious thinking. That alarm will caution you to slow down to rethink what you’re about to do.

 

Listen to your sub-conscious thinking . . . . and you will be in a position to make a better decision . . . . and don’t make the same mistake a second time.

Good Morning Lou Ludwig, In my Corp day as a training Manager, I use to tell my people it is ok to make a mistake but to learn from it and do not make it again.

Good morning, Lou --- oh, so true...I can't tell you how many lessons I have learned while making a mistake.  Believe me it's best not to make it twice although I admit it has happened to me on more than one occasion.  Ouch!

... and yet.... how often do we see people who don't learn from their mistakes, Lou, but keep repeating them?

HI Lou,

Everything that happens to us is a learning experience and even something that goes wrong has positive take-aways.

Lou- making a mistake is probably one of the best ways we learn. The only way to never make a mistake is to do nothing.

Even better is to learn from the mistakes of others.

Mistakes to me, means that you proactively did something. The result wasn't what you wanted so then you realize it was a "mistake". You don't make a mistake if you never try to do something different or new.
