There’s an old adage that those who refuse to learn from history are
doomed to repeat it. So it is with our failures. Unless we learn from
our mistakes, we are likely to repeat them until we learn from such
experiences and correct our course or give up and accept temporary
defeat as permanent failure. Every setback you encounter in life
contains valuable information that, if you study it carefully, will
eventually lead you to success.
Without adversity, you would never develop wisdom, and without wisdom,
success would be short lived indeed. When you make a mistake, say,
"That’s good! I’ve gotten that out of the way. I will never do that
again." You will no doubt make other mistakes, but they won’t bother you
nearly as much when you treat them as learning experiences.
