The mistake is the one from which we learn nothing


"The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing."
- John Enoch Powell

Experience is the worst teacher;
it gives the test first before
presenting the lesson.
- Vernon Law

"It is good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes."
Psalms 119:71

Lord let me understand your admonitions and treaty requirements and let me get lessons from the things I have done and which I have undergone.

Never making mistakes because never doing anything



"The only person who never makes mistakes
is the person who never does anything."
- Denis Waitley

"Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk,
that by it you may grow up to salvation;
for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord."
1 Peter 2:3-3

God let me be humble enough to admit my errors,
but also make sure that I shall do fewer mistakes,
and yet still dare to undertake new things.
