Mistake.

"Making a mistake gives you the opportunity to begin again."

                                                             -James Sullivan

This time more intelligenly. Next time, you know better. Now you know what not to do, and what are the things you ought to do. You will become wiser as a result of your bad experience which, eventually enables you to have a better judgement. You cannot forget the mistakes you've committed in the past. The fact that your mistakes keep lingering in your mind only shows the large impression they have made on you, especially if such errors have created a big difference in your life.  Be glad instead that you can remember, because those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Realize that our mistakes also become our teachers. Therefore, you can learn from your mistakes and vow not to repeat them again. Remember, the greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making one. In fact, even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement. Learn from your mistakes, you'll be getting something good instead.
