accept the fact that almost everyday we made mistakes.. because no ones perfect except God.. some says mistakes makes us strong some says it makes us weak.. but i think its both.. because mistakes makes makes me weak but in mean while it makes me strong the way it teaches me a lesson at the end.. and it helps me not to do those mistakes again..

yeah i think you said the right thing "NO ONE IS PERFECT EXCEPT THE ONE AND ONLY ONE GOD" i have made a lakhs ......... of mistakes since from my childhood but everytime i make a mistake i usually get caught so that it becomes a lesson to me and makes me think so that i would'nt repeat those mistakes another time and for sure mistakes makes me indeed strong.

Hi mutya17! I believe that mistakes doesn't make us weak but only make us more stronger than before. Mistakes are part and parcel of life and don't be ashamed of making mistakes. However, don't just walk away gaining nothing but instead learn what went wrong and make sure that it doesn't happen again. Life is bound to throw us some obstacles and we can overcome it by putting the knowledge we gained from making mistakes into good use.

Mistakes make us who we are basically we learn everyday by them big or small. And yeah they help make us stronger even though as you said we are weak for awhile in the beginning with them while we heal. Sometimes those mistakes or loss that are big..can knock us back for awhile..but with friends and family and loved ones..we can make it through anything we just have to learn to lean on them. they help us to be strong.

I would say that mistakes are the very essence of the lessons we are to learn in life. Otherwise, how are we to learn anything without seeing that there is a right way to do something and a wrong way. We can only recognize right if there's a wrong. One cannot exist without the other. Because, if something is always right, and we never knew wrong at all, the right would be the only thing existing and would therefore not need a name! All things have to have an opposite in order to exist. _Derek

Making mistakes really makes me strong because you get to learn through your mistakes. And next time you really have to be careful in making decision when it comes to things or any situation you're in to.

it depends on how we see it and how we react. if we think positively from mistake we made, we could change it become something that make us stronger, and the other way, if we cant think positively, it could change become something bad that make us down. so cheer your self up if you make mistake, take it as a lesson that we are not gonna repeat.

I hate to say mistakes make me weak. I try as possible to strong in whatever I do but it's easier to say than to do. But yeah, I still try hard as possible not to make the same mistakes again.

If you learn from your mistakes then they make your stronger, if you keep repeating the same mistakes then that is a sign of weakness.

Hi, From my point of view, Mistakes will make me even stronger,Why do I say so? IT is because I will learn from my mistakes and make sure I won't repeat the same mistakes again. I will pay extra attention when I do things next time. I must learn from my mistakes,not run away from the mistakes. Only by learning from mistakes,then I am able to get up and start new life and achieve the goal in my life. Everyone will make mistakes...be it kid, adult or elderly, as long as we learnt from our mistakes and willing to change,then it won't create a mess.

Hi there! It all depends with the strength of the mistakes Ive committed. But most of the times, I tend to use my weaknesses and mistakes for me to learn from them and try not to commit the same mistakes over again. Just like what you said, were only human and were not perfect, I agree to that, that's why sometimes, though I like not to commit the same mistakes again, its just happened beyond my control. Have a blessed Sunday!

Making mistakes is natural for us as humans. Making them at first would tend to make you weak where sometimes, or possibly always, get scolded by your superiors like your parents, friends, bosses. But if you look at mistakes carefully, you'll see the reasons why you have done such actions and in a way makes you learn how to avoid doing such things in the future. This time, you will feel a strong sense of learning.

You're definitely right, no one is perfect. To answer your question, it depends on a person's personality and how he percieve things. If he is the weak type, then if he committed mistakes, it will surely feel him down more. But if he is strong enough, he knows how to accept things constructively thus makes him stronger. For me, I always consider everything happens for a reason, that gives me time to think if it is have to weakened me or strengthen me. But I'm a strong believer that we always have to be bigger and tougher than whatever problems we may encounter for we have the wit to analyze for it solutions.

I think that there are all of us that make mistakes through out our lives and i think that some of us learn from making these mistakes.I think that i have learnt over the years by trusting friends and now i know whi i can not trust, so that is one mistake that i am never going to do again.

We are all human and we will make our share of mistakes. some mistakes will be bigger than others. there is no way to avoid it. i think we learn from our mistakes and that will make us a stronger person. I don't think that mistakes leave us to be weak people.

They are what you make them to be. If you take them as an opportunity to learn, they will make you stronger, but if you just get depressed over them, they will make you weak. It is up to you! (and everyone else of course)
