I believe that we all
make mistakes and end up learning from them. Everybody makes mistakes in this
world, whether it¡¯s a professional athlete or the President, it¡¯s just a fact
of life. Not one person is perfect so therefore, along the line everyone is going
to make a bad decision or do something they really didn¡¯t think they should
have. But the biggest thing about making mistakes, is learning from them, to
not do the same thing again, and just gaining knowledge about something. If
everybody just went and made mistake after mistake, it wouldn¡¯t seem right
would it? I have heard this phrase ¡°we learn from our mistakes¡± probably the
most from my parents when I¡¯m playing sports and I make a mistake. For example,
shooting free throws is a game of either succeeding or doing something wrong
and having to adjust it to make it right, or in other words when you make a
mistake with your shot, you learn from it and fix it. Another example of
learning from a mistake could be something way more major in life like a teenager
trying drugs or alcohol. The teenager sees all their friends and other peers
drinking or doing drugs at some party, and think, it¡¯s what everyone else is
doing here so I might as well do it too. So after they end up getting drunk or
high and decide to get into a vehicle and drive home, that¡¯s when their mistake
has already began. They could end up getting into an accident because they are
under the influence, or just get in trouble with the law. That¡¯s why I believe
you learn from your mistakes, because if this would happen to just about any
teenager, they probably wouldn¡¯t make the same mistake again, by drinking and
driving under the influence, especially if they got in an accident and put
their lives or someone else¡¯s life in jeopardy just for a few drinks. I believe
that if we didn¡¯t learn from our mistakes, there would be so many things wrong
in the world, and nothing would have developed or ever got discovered or
invented, because I know for a fact whoever invented the computer and other
people who updated them didn¡¯t get it all right the first try, and had to make
mistakes to learn and grow from them to help them succeed.
