Throughout life mistakes are constantly being made and there is nothing humanity can do to prevent that. The reason mistake are made is because that is how humans learn. We first must learn the ways something cannot occur in order to understand the ways something can occur. To put this simply, humanity learns from their mistakes. Whenever we need to learn, we learn the ways it won’t work. There is a very simple explanation to this logic and it only requires on word, experience. Only reason why the older you get the wiser you are is because you’ve had more time to experience difficulties and emotions. I have recently experienced one of these mistakes in life that change a person’s view on life. I was in private school and I made the mistake of not realized the true importance of school. I didn’t understand that school was a connection to a deeper and more successful future and because I didn’t understand that then I am suffering now. For my freshman year I went to a private school called George School, and I thought that this school was where I was going to spend my high school career. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case because I made disastrous mistakes. Instead of doing my work, I would go out on weekends and do things was friends. I would go to parties …show more content…
After my freshman year of George School we were given summer work. Instead of working on my work properly, I decided to not do my work and instead take information off the internet. This later on became my worst mistake because I was too focused on having fun in the present I forgot to think of what would happen in my future. After this mistake I was confronted by my English teacher and I had to go through the disciplinary review course. I was put on probation and this wasn’t the end of troubles. I am still feeling the effects of this action to this day and I can never change
Unfortunately life has many hurdles and roads unturned. I do not feel we should regret the mistakes we have made in our past. Or else, we may be too hesitant to make correct choices in our future.

Carol S. Dweck, a social psychologist and a writer, explores that people who gain benefits from learning from their mistakes are more likely to develop to maturity. A mistake is a step toward success and if one makes changes and prevents his errors from happening he is a step closer to his success and able to grow up to his mature self. Agreeing with Dweck, by learning from mistakes people are taught through experiences and it helps to deeply imbed the knowledge into them. Therefore, People begin to aware their faults and start off to change themselves into mature person to be able to fit in the adult society. Adulthood is the experience every living person has to encounter. Growing up to maturity means having
Everyone makes at least one decision in their lifetime and it’s not always a good choice or decision. Some are small, domestic, and innocuous. Others are more important, affecting people’s lives, livelihoods, and well-being. Many of the simple decisions people make like what color pants they will wear today or whether or not they want spaghetti for dinner, etc. are often automatic or based on their preference at a given moment. Inevitably, we make mistakes along the way. So as you look back at your life and think about some of the poor choices you have made, you might find yourself wondering exactly why you made those decisions that seem so poor now in retrospect. Why did you marry someone who was all wrong for
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” In his novel, Great Expectations, Charles Dickens exemplifies Ralph’s belief and conveys that when a person has gone wrong in life, a trauma or pain can help him or her return to a better path. All through the novel, characters such as Pip, Miss Havisham, and Magwitch illustrate this theme through the decisions they made in life and where those decisions took them.
Everyone realizes that the people around them are not perfect and that sometimes people need to forgive and forget to move on with life. In some cases forgiving and getting are an option, but in others it may not. Depending on the circumstances what a person says now may be the last thing someone hears in their life because no one is promised tomorrow. Mistakes happen but people need to be careful with what they do. Life changes everyday and people wish they had one more chance to fix things that went wrong but sometimes you cannot go back in time.
Life has changed tremendously in the past till date. Many changes have occurred both in the social, economic, and political facets of life.

Learn to cherish the life on this Earth, and don’t let poor choices dictate the future ahead. Making the right decision is key to success, and only we can choose what successes we want to
...I became so overwhelmed, thinking I could try and pick up my grades, but it was too late for me. I was then failing all of my classes. My mom would call me and check up on me, I would lie of course and tell her that I was doing well all while everything was crashing down on me. I lost all hope, I completely stopped caring. I didn’t even go to my final exams; I knew there was no hope for me. I dropped out. I messed up my GPA horribly. I took a year off and just gave myself some time to mature then reapplied for school at Chattahoochee.
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience just from all of my own little mishaps, and a few major ones.
Mistakes are actually a very influential part of a person’s upbringing in life. Mistakes shape a person’s character to make them who they are today. A mistake can teach someone many different life lessons that will better them as a person and make their lives more enjoyable. A person will commit a mistake usually when he or she is distracted. Distraction is the number one cause of mistakes in our world today. Many people are afraid of making mistakes, so they play it safe in life and don’t strive to achieve everything they are capable of achieving. This is a very bad thing. People should not be afraid of the potential mistakes there are to be made. Instead, they should focus more on the great lengths they could go in life by pursuing their goals. Mistakes will happen on life’s journeys,
In conclusion, life is filled with lessons. Some of them are learned through reading books, traveling, and watching old Disney films. In contrast, some are learned through mistakes, and hard times. As life goes on we will continue to grow up, find new interests, and meet new people. Along the way we will find things that we enjoy doing, and things we can’t stand. All of these things teach us lessons that make us the human beings we are today. I would never take back any of the things that I have done in the past because those are the building blocks that constructed me into the person I am today. I hope I will look back fifty years later and say, “Yea. It was a good life.”
Why do you need to learn from your mistakes? The most important life lessons we will ever learn will be from the bad decisions we make. Time and experience can be excellent teachers w...
I have been through so many things in my life and I have made many bad decisions. The best thing with making wrong decisions are learning from them. One of the worst decisions in my life was dropping out of college when I was younger. One day I’m hoping to show people no matter how old your are or what your have been through, you can still go back to school and help people but it first starts with yourself. Deciding to go back to school was hard, but I wanted to make a difference in someone’s life.
