LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES
Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”
Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

The above message ‘Learn from mistakes’ is fabulous. Yes everyone has to learn from mistakes, she/he should not make the same mistake. Made mistakes make us learn new inventions/thoughts.

Here thinking between two persons one is positive and the other one in negative, failure and mistakes are common but one should come in such a way to hope for the best from the result and can do it in a better way.

Everyone is not achieved success in first attempt. So never give up if u failed. Try 2 find the reason of failure. I hope u will be succeed in next attempt.

That’s the positive attitude. We try to do mistake so we come to learn our mistakes and we will try to improve our task.

25AKSHAY JAIN September 29, 2010 at 10:58 am
Very good comment and very well said by THOMAS ELVA EDISON. WE should always try to learn from our mistakes and we should never get disheartened by the failure of our mistakes
26LACHU November 11, 2010 at 1:19 pm
first to correct the mistakes
second not to repeat the mistakes
i remind the words of Abdul kalam sir:
Good decision comes from experience
Experience comes from bad decision

Mistakes make one perfect.
28Biplab January 16, 2011 at 7:06 am
First we should try. If we don’t succeed, we should find out the reason behind our failure. Then avoid the previous mistakes. This way when we keep on trying, we can at a point of time do that work perfectly without any mistakes.
29Chris February 4, 2011 at 1:33 am
Tha’s what you call… Optimism! =)
30san February 23, 2011 at 9:54 pm
So nice example ..
one who says I did mistake is not a negative thinker, one who didn’t agree his/her mistake is negative thinker.
Thank you
