Should I regret for my mistakes or treat it as experience to learn a lesson?

Answer 1

Experience is the best teacher. You cant cry over spilled milk. So you have made a few mistakes in life. Who hasn't. The best thing to do is to learn the hard way. You will not make those same mistakes again. Don't regret, life is too short. Get up, dust yourself off, and start over.

Answer 2

both, you won't be able to help regretting them, so just accept the feeling and grow from it.
As for learning: this is something you can help. You need to take a decision to learn from your mistake and decide on the lessons you want to derive from the experience.

Answer 3

Never regret what you have already done. Instead, be wise and learn from your mistakes and do not commit the same mistake twice for then you would be a fool.

Answer 4

The best things in life often happen after a plan fails. Being lost is the best way to find new and better things. Be really choosy about what promises you count on being kept. People who use the term "traditional Native American wisdom says..." usually don't believe the bulk of what traditional Native American wisdom says, they just cherry-pick a couple of things to support what they are selling. Traditional Native American wisdom is so diverse from such a diverse assembly of peoples there aren't many things it didn't say at some point or other.

Answer 5

nobody's perfect...forgive yourself and stop being bitter on the past..everything has its reason just like why leaves fall from the trees...instead of regreting things,pick up the lessons from your mistakes and start a new life..just always look at the bright side of life,when mistakes and failures arise,lived the lessons from it and use it as a guide for a new life.

Answer 6

depends on the mistake - if it was a bad thing and caused pain to yourself/others then perhaps remorse rather than regret would be helpful and help in prevent u from repeating. to feel no regret/remorse may harden you to the feelings of others. otherwise regret is a fairly destructive emotion. niggles away at your energy.

learn from your mistakes. as teh great man confucius said 'wisdom comes to us on one of three ways: reflection and understanding (the hardest); imitation (the easiest) and experience (the most bitter). take your experience and use it to become wise!

Answer 7

Mistakes are not for us to regret. So take it positively and try to learn from them. Read this quote
"Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.... " - Edison

Answer 8

regretting is like having a dead albatross on your head. You can never return or get it back. so stop regretting it. you were not prepared and you are not in your best at that time...

you need to learn something from it or it will keep on coming back to you... the lesson... it is a natural thing...

like girls need a MANLY boyfriend, but left beaten and crying...
like men who like sexy and beautiful women, but are left because the women like someone else...

you get what you deserve, unless you get the lesson and move on...
don't go against the flow... be with it and you will get what you need.

Have fun doing it!!!;-)

Answer 9

Some are lessons and others are not. The mistakes that you can learn from use them for that, when you finished the lesson, think on it no more, toss it away. The others just toss them away and never think about them again.

Answer 10

BOTH.
1) Sincerely regret for your mistakes and do any compensatory solution if available.

2)Take it as a leaning experience so that no such mistakes/wrongs are done by you again.
