Learn from Mistakes

The point of making mistakes is to learn from them. If you don't learn from what you do wrong, then making mistakes has no silver lining,

it is purely bad. I have come to believe this through personal experience and watching others.

When climbing the "ladder of success," each step gets you closer to the top. Therefore each step is a mistake that you learned from, a

good decision, or even a stroke of luck. How could a person climb that ladder without each and every wooden rung to help them? I am

human, therefor, far from perfect, I make mistakes all of the time and I am a better person because of that. You could almost say that the

more mistakes a person makes, the stronger a person they are, assuming of course that they learn from them.

As a child I stole cookies from the cookie jar, lied to my parents (still happens every once in awhile), and played tricks on my brothers. I,

in turn, got in trouble with my parents and was punished. After that I learned that those things aren't okay. Now I tend to make different

mistakes, such as, going to places that aren't safe for me, and giving up when things get hard. Life is a huge cycle of making mistakes and

learning from them. That is why people can become so wise and strong in what they do, they make good out of the bad.

I also see people close to me using problems and mistakes to make a good situation out of a bad one. My parents, my brothers, and my

closest friends are all slowly building up the knowledge to be successful. How can a person be more successful by forgetting what they

have already learned? That doesn't push you forward it just holds a person back. Even if a person wanted to forget their past, they

couldn't. It's like forgetting that if a stove is turned on and you touch it, it will burn
