adam and hawha made a mistake that distroyed them but led to evolution human beings … whetever we do know may have sme thing good to follow .. also when we make a decission it is going to affect not only us but sme other people who are a associated with us .. and i follow a policy even if i make mistake that will distroy me but never i have the right to make some decission that could make others life miserable .. :)

I think if we learn from our mistakes then thats a good thing ,its healthy ,..you grow from it ..its when people don’t learn and stay stuck in life thats when they get bitter and stuff ..Its our souls way of letting us know and understand,children do this naturally that is how they learn to crawl first -then walk ,run .But as I always see it – God does not see our mistakes only we do …
Love Tania

Trial and error, an important way to learn. How lucky the children with parents who guide them along the way. ‘The mistake that destroy us’? Do we still believe in mortal sins? Irreversible damages? Nah, forgive 77×70 times. Get back on your feet and stumble on.

I liked this quote… It is WE that are not allowed to let mistakes, no matter how big, destroy us. It is WE who can make those msitakes build us.

Mistakes are experiences which we realize are errors we do not wish to repeat. Mistakes are a guideline on our journeys. The ultimate and distructive mistake would be to be so worried about making mistakes that we become paralysed and unwilling to move for fear, thereby distroying our potential.

The same as: Life is a game, but not a trivial one … this one game we really have to win.

This book is not my favorite but it has such strong message in, especially nowdays that so many youg people do not see reason to live.

Jessica, if you listel your instict you will recognize danger, you will feel it in your bones, you’ll feel it coming.

Just listen your inner self, all mistakes I did werte results of ignoring signals and signs that were there to see. I reasoned where I had to follow instict.

And that is why I say that every one of us is responsible for his own life.

Love
Luce

Mistakes can be lessons, drawbacks, pauses or intervals in our paths.
The only one that is crucial is the one that destroys our hopes, our dreams. We cannot live without a Dream, a SECRET in our heart. I usually say and think that in every problem there is a solution. The only situation that is Hopeless is when we … are dead. Again I remember my Latin teacher. “DUM SPIRO SPERO”.
LOVE,
THELMA
