When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it, and don't repeat it- By Paul Bear Bryant

A mistake should be your teacher, not your attacker. A mistake is a lesson not a loss. It is a temporary necessary, detour not a dead end. - Unknown

As we keep living life every day, we are also learning from our past mistakes, life is teaching us a lesson everyday and most of the lessons we learned from life as become our experience, we keep learning everyday, and learning never stop, the very day we will stop learning or stop making mistakes is the day that we die off, but as we keep living life, life will never stop to give us the other part of it, and if life does not bring to us such experiences I don't think life would be meaningful at all. There is no one that is above a mistake, we just try our best to avoid some but yet still we still see oursleves sometimes making it. And to me some times I make some mistakes I always use to be angry with myself, I would use a word like why me? When did this even happen and while did this word called mistake even come to existence?.

But before that a word would come to my mind, that as far as we are still breathing in oxygen and sending out carbon-dioxide, we are always open to mistakes every day. It is said that a person who never make a mistake never try any thing new, and this is to confirmed that there is nobody that will not make a mistake, as far as we aspire to go for new things, to take new steps and also to have new experience in life. Humans are like an apprentice in the world, nobody is an high land, nobody has really mastered all the falling and the rising of life, life is an illusion, it is today's reality and tommorow an illusion, it is not just straight like we might thought it would be.

A little mistakes is a mistakes, and a big mistakes is also a mistake, what a little mistake can lead someone to ,the biggest one can also do. It is left for us not to see mistakes as small or big because the harm that the small mistake can do the big can also so do the same. A mistake is a mistake once someone falls into it, it's deal with you without taking any permission from you, it does not even regard your integrity, it deals with you as usual, even if you are a little child or an adult when you tempered into it's territory, it will use you as rag without even looking at your face the second time.

The word mistake which means someone to commit an unintentional error, to do or think something wrong. Yes some mistakes we make come unintentionally, and some errors we make are not from us, we as humans do not intentionally do it, mistakes happen when we are not even alert, it comes when we do not expect it to come. There is nobody that will be intentionally want mistake to happen, when he or she knows the outcome of what every mistakes will brings. Mistakes become very painful when ever it happens, but in years letter a collection of those mistakes is what we called experiences.

We derive experience from some years mistakes we made, and we also create an awareness from it. But my mentor always used to tell me that each time I realise that I have made a mistake, that I should take immediate step to correct it. I am not saying the pass mistakes to be corrected, but I am saying that we should try our best to correct it in other not to make that same mistake again, if we keep on making the same mistakes, it therefore means that we have fail to make a correction, and we have fail to learn from our past mistakes.

Form Paul Bryant's qoute, he said when ever you make a mistake, or when ever a given mistake is occur, that there are only three things you should ever do about it which is;

Admit it,

Learn from it,

And don't repeat it.

Admit it

When ever you make a mistake give it an entrance, let in, permit it to happen because if you are not ready to permit or let in some mistakes, it therefore means that your are not ready to open to learning. My physics teacher once advice me that if I want to learn quickly that I should be ready to make mistakes, he said I should free my mind to answer questions and also make some contribution even when I think those contribution will not be accepted, he said in every nonsense there is a sense in it.

And that was how I summoned courage to answer question in the class and it will happen when ever my answer is not correct he will still encourage me while telling me the correct answer, and to me I really enjoyed those days but I never knew he was helping me out, in such a way that it is good to admit every mistakes and that is the most easiest and migic way to learn. And today I don't want to brag that I am good in physics but through those mistakes I made during learning time has really help me to stand my ground in the subject.

Learn from it

Learn from you own past mistakes, and also learn from the ones that people have made. When you do this, that would be the best way to handle some mistakes when they comes your way. Learning from your mistakes or some other people's mistakes is the best way of gaining more knowledge from bad experience so as to get improve.

Learning will always expose us to so many new things, learning is important in life, we become who we are through leaening, learning is right from when we were babies, from step to step until we become a grown up person, that is why it is said learning never end, and if learning does end that's mean our personal growth and teaching would become dormant.

There is power in learning, if anybody refuse to learn it's therefore means that he has just denied himself of knowing some certain things, because it is in the place of learning that somany secret about life would be reveal. A person who have an experience about a certain mistake he made in the past years, and also learn from it can never be the same with a novice that has not have an experience.

Don't repeat it

When you fine out yourself being in a victim of a certain mistake, it is advisable that you try all you can not to repeat the same mistake again. Even if you might fall into another mistakes but let it not the same one you made before.

Never be someone who always like repeating one mistake because if you do, you are harming yourself and it's therefore means that your are not a learning type, because if someone wants to learn there is no how he will like to repeat a mistakes he has make the second time, note that mistakes are always painful.

If you keep repeating the same mistakes, those mistakes will draw you backward, when others are moving forward, repeating the same mistakes will demot your life, and otherwise making people become mockery of you.

It is very good for everyone to be careful in life, no body will able to explain the bitterness and the pianfulness to your own understanding until you face it yourself, so try everything to see that you keep yourself from making the same mistake everytime, life would be so insteresting and beautiful when we become smart to admit our mistakes, learn from our mistakes and not to repeat it again.
