“How much you can learn when you fail determines how far you will go into achieving your goals” -Roy Bennett. People do not always learn from their mistakes, even when given a second chance. When people make a mistake they do not always see the problem with their mistake. Sometimes they make the mistake again. In our world, the choices you make and the actions you perform define your character.…
Mistakes don’t lead to good, but when they do it’s usually pretty good. Mistakes are needed for discovery,Heinrich Schliemann found out and Percy Spencer. Heinrich Schliemann was an archaeologist and was reckless when it came to digging. Percy Spencer left a candy bar in his pocket near a Magnetron and made a discovery which lead to the microwave. On the other hand, mistakes can be pretty costly.…
One example of this is when I tried out for the tennis team. At first, I was rejected. I was disappointed, but I knew that if I practiced as much as I could over the summer, I would be able to get on the team by the time the second tryouts came around. So, I practiced as hard and as frequently as I could, and sure enough, I got on the team. If I had given up when I had first hit a setback, I wouldn’t be playing tennis with all my teammates right now.…

Often when individual seek contentment in their life they do not really know what they are looking for. Usually, it takes a mistake, a stumble or a fall to really know what will make an individual happy. It takes time to find yourself and know what you really want in life because when individuals are young and lack experience, they really don’t know what they want out of life.

Failure is something that everyone can learn from. I definitely have learned from failure and improved myself from my past failures. One of my defining failures that comes to mind is this past year at the DECA State Competition. I come from a small high school in Indiana, and we take about forty students to the state competition. One of our largest competitors at state is a high school that brings around five hundred kids each year.…
The biggest mistake I would say that I have made in high school has been becoming less active in our local HOSA chapter. My freshman and sophomore year, I was a notoriously active member in HOSA, participating in ever service project, competing in district and state competitions, and arranging school events. However, my junior year I began my employment and faced the most difficult classes I had ever faced; my attendance to meetings began to dwindle and I eventually found myself becoming an inactive member. I wish, instead of getting my job, I continued my active role in HOSA. I loved my job but my experiences with HOSA were more beneficial to my future.…
Everyone has a different perspective and interpretation about failure. Some people see failure as an unpleasant thing or a limitation of their capabilities, while others see failure as a learning opportunity or a guide on how to become better. For example, in the article, “Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail,” the author, Angel B. Perez, implies that failure should not be feared because it is not as harmful as most people think it is. He points out that failure is necessary if we want to succeed in college and in life.…
I believe in mistakes. Most people think making mistakes are not normal and that their life shouldn’t have any mistakes. That their life has to be perfect. That’s not really how life works. In reality everyone makes them…
One mistake in music is a failure, and I strive to have everything perfect in music. This ambition to have everything perfect is a result from my audition to Advanced Concert Band. Being able to perform with the Advanced Concert Band was a dream of mine ever since I experienced what a real ensemble can display. The day was upon me faster than I could ever have imagined. Knowing the standards that Mr. Macrina expects from everyone made the audition much more tense.…
Mistakes I Learned From Have you ever made a mistake well I have it wasn’t a real bad mistake but I sure did learn from them.

You’re prolly not going to make a tackle so you're not really doing what you was suppose to do .…
It’s hard to admit that the writing you made, your masterpiece, has errors. Many authors go through many extensive drafts before they are satisfied with the outcome of their work. Being satisfied isn’t necessarily having a work of art with no mistakes in it. I make errors in the papers I write. It may be because writing it isn’t my forte.…
