A mistake is a mistake is a mistake. And yes, we SHOULD learn from it. It is STILL a mistake though even if you learn from it. It only STOPS being a mistake once you correct it :)

A mistake is a mistake. Whether you learn from it or not is a different matter.

a mistake is only an error if you are unwilling to correct it. a mistake is a learning curve e.g scolding yourself on a hot pan means that you will not be wanting to repeat it again anytime soon unless you like that type of thing
i have never been wrong in my life, i once thought that i was but i was mistaken!

Labels, all these labels. If we stick to definitions of course. A mistake which leads to a great discovery is still a mistake.

All mistakes are there to learn from. If you do not then you are not examining it in a useful way.

There are a lot of people who use self-talk to handle what is going on inside their minds. When self-talk is not monitored cautiously it can lead to drastic effects not only on one’s personality but also affects its mentality and psychology. Self-talk is a type of conversation which we conduct with ourselves. In literature we call it soliloquy. Brain’s reticular activating system never forgets what we repeat again and again. Ironically this system can not recognize what is beneficial to the individual and what is not. Think you can, think you can't; either way, you'll be right- a saying goes like this. Therefore when ever we ‘talk’ with ourselves, we should be cautious, very cautious in fact. There are a lot of audio programs which can help and there are a lot of online books. If I recall there is a book ‘self-talk solutions’ which is every effective in this scenario.
