Following is a list of principles which are important in learning to make fewer mistakes.

Do not pessimistically assume that having made a mistake there is no hope, that mistake means ruin.

Calmly and objectively examine your mistake. Learn all you can from it. Then move away from it with a new know-how.

Get psychological insight into the underlying causes of your mistake-tendency.

Increase your spiritual understanding. This will displace error from your mind by an intake of truth through prayer and faith.

Do not continue to hold mental images of past mistakes for that may stimulate repetition of the error.

Keep studying, keep try. Always believe you can learn to do better. Constantly seek for self-improvement. Never believe you have arrived.

Apply the supreme personal test of all times, "Am I a right person?" If you are "right" things tend to go right.
