How to learn from your mistakes
You can only learn from a mistake after you admit you've made it. As
soon as you start blaming other people (or the universe itself) you
distance yourself from any possible lesson. But if you courageously
stand up and honestly say "This is my mistake and I am responsible" the
possibilities for learning will move towards you. Admission of a
mistake, even if only privately to yourself, makes learning possible by
moving the focus away from blame assignment and towards understanding.
Wise people admit their mistakes easily. They know progress accelerates
when they do. </snip>
