@ninapenda, In order to take advantage of the mistakes we make in life, we first have to accept the fact that we made that mistake.

Acceptance is the first step to learning, since knowing that we made a mistake will look for a way to amend it.

People's lives are plagued with errors, whether small or some others that can affect us for a long time.

Examples, the mistake of leaving the lit match in the garbage can, something that could cause loss of life, in addition to the house.

Thank God it didn't get old and I'm sure you're very aware of checking the kitchen well before you retire.

From that mistake you learned the value of careful attention to cooking.

I say goodbye wishing you have a happy day
