LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES.

The Longman dictionary of contemporary English describes a mistake as something unwise or stupid that someone does and later regrets doing afterwards. It is bound to be made by anybody at any point in time and it is usually followed by a correction. A saying that ‘you learn from your own mistakes’ so that another of that kind would not be made next time is a rampant thought by many people.

But have you ever observed the dangers attributed to this? I mean have you ever witnessed or felt the inconveniences encountered in the quest to learning from your own mistakes?

A 1001 mistakes are made by individuals on hourly, daily or weekly basis and many if not all of these mistakes are being communicated through so many means so as to be aware of them, ways to avoiding or averting such occurrences and the various avenues to making corrections to those mistakes. For instance, many youths are being faced by this ugly situation of learning from their mistakes and to making amendments to this, they sometimes have to go through hardship to correcting themselves and even suffer the detriments or the havoc being caused by their mistakes which might have been the act of taking wrong decisions.

To recover from this old saying which has eaten deep into many minds, we have to reawaken our intelligence quotient as youths by taking a step forward to making positive use of the pieces of information we get about others mistakes.

This would not only improve our sense of responsibility, save us from unnecessary stress in correcting what might have been avoided but prepare us adequately for the challenges we would face in our respective fields and eventually building a greater tomorrow for us all.
