Everybody makes a whole lot of mistakes & learn from them. Wasting time in earning easy cash is one mistake I learned from. Not spending valuable time with family is another. Do post your mistakes of life that made you learn the basics & helped you grow better.

I've made mistakes in my past in terms of friendship. I was holding on too tight to my best friend and I've lost him. But I've learned to just accept the way things are going and not expecting much and go with the flow. As far as desperate situations, I've been desperate in certain times that I take shorcuts. It just leads to nowhere. So basically, I just learned to take things slow and not take the easy way.

One more mistake to add: Once I met a severe accident while driving my bike when I was drunk. So don't drink & drive.

I stayed in a bad relationship instead of leaving of my ex-boyfriend. When I look at that period today I wish that I had left him earlier. At that time I was afraid that my relationship would end, but today I know that the end of that relationship was the best thing that could happen, because I am married to another man today and I am much happier today. I wouldn't make the same mistake again. I also made a mistake when I left a great job. The job that I gave up was a great job in almost every way. It was interesting and I learned a lot and I had great co-workers, but I had to commute every day because I didn't work in my own town. When I found a similar job in my own town I gave up the other job. That was a mistake because the job in my own town was much more stressful than the other job and it wasn't worth the extra money (The salaries were almost the same, but I saved money on transportation when I worked in my own town).

I think that I learn slowly about who are the people with whom I should spend my valuable time. It is not always with my family. Someitmes, some friends are dearest to your heart and they are always there when you need them. I value their frindship and have learned to appreciate them as I should.

i have a lot of mistakes through which i learnt. I lied to my mom when i was young. My mom told me that do not lie, else god will poke your eyes and you will become blind. The words that she told me was to frighten me and being the truth out of my mouth. But as a very young kid, i was scared whether my mom will beat me if i told the truth and I was adamant and told the lie. But then after a couple of years, i had problems with my eye sight and i still have that problem.

My mistake was I trust a guy which is my classmate back my highschool days and then we get close on text messaging then I fall inlove with him and I thought he have the same feelings for me because he is sweet , caring and acting like we have a relationship but he just played with my feelings. It turns out I am just his past time. I learned that I should not trust him.
