I'm sitting here laughing. It's because it's as if you are describing my whole life. I think I'm one of those people that has constantly learned from mistakes. So when I forget something ONCE.......by golly I never forget again. Such as what you may ask?\n\n1. Forgetting to change the oil in my car.\n2. Forgetting to pick my daughter up from sports practice.\n3. Forgetting to pay the electric bill.\n4. Forgetting to take the videos back to the video store.\n5. Forgetting to call my dad on Father's Day.\n6. Forgetting a one on one meeting I had with my boss.\n7. Forgetting to walk my dog!\n8. Forgetting my keys in the car.\n9. Forgetting to call when I was going to be late. \n10. Forgetting the pain that accompanies love.

Yes, then you can 'undo' things that were stupid. But if you did that, you would never learn from your mistakes.

I'm with you. It's not just saying it but actually getting the message across the recipient that you mean it. Sometimes just talking and explaining why the mistake was unintentionally done and a show of remorse will usually warrant forgiveness.

Screw me once, shame on you;\nScrew me twice, shame on me.\n\nForgive, but be aware of your options, should your forgiveness come back to bite you on the *ss.

Either you say a weakness that is also a strength something like: I am a perfectionist etc.\nOr a genuine weakness that you had in the past that you addressed and improved something like computer skills addressed by going to appropriate courses etc\nGood luck

I think it's beacause we're human and we've all made mistakes. So when we see a chance to stop someone else from doing things that we regret doing, it's instinctual to try to alter their path in life as a sort of pennance for not altering our own. It's like getting a second chance to see how things would have turned out for us if we'd made different choices in life. And I think the only time someoone is ready to hear our advice is when they say, "Can I have your advice?"

It is easy, every time something bad happened, I always told myself, that there's something that I have to learn. that God want me to get this kind of experience to help me deal with something more complex in the future. The positive thinks is something that you must have it in yourself.

Depending on the mistake, you can blame it on being human. The important part is whether one learns from their mistakes. If one keeps making the same mistake then, the excuse "I'm only human," loses it's meaning very quickly.

If you realize it was wrong, accept it, vow to never do it again, forgive yourself, and move on with your life.  You cannot change the past.  You can only control the future.

I was told to remember one word from one of my high school teachers that has stuck with me and has influenced my entire life and has paid dividends, not only monetary, but experience as well.  That word was "Education".  Learn as much as you can about as much as you can.  It has made me a very versatile person in my career and my life in general.

Learn to always admit it to yourself when you're wrong or don't really know something. It's the only way to keep learning...and to not be delusional.
