We all make mistakes which are inevitable. What makes mistakes worse is failure to correct your own mistakes. While making mistakes is good, repeating mistakes is definitely not. Apart from correcting your own mistakes, we should learn from the mistakes as well.
錯誤不可避免，最糟糕的是我們不糾正自己的錯誤。制造錯誤有好處，重復錯誤就不一定是對的，除了要糾正我們的錯誤，我們也要從錯誤中學習。
You can only learn from you admit you have made one. As soon as you start blaming other people, you distance yourself from any possible lesson that could be learned from it. Admission of mistake, even if only privately to yourself, make learning possible by moving the focus away from blaming yourself and towards understanding. Wise people admit their mistakes easily. They know progress accelerates when they do. On the other hand, for many reasons admitting mistakes is difficult. This is why some people consider that people can learn nothing from mistakes. We are educated in school, in our families, or at work to feel guilty about failure and to do whatever we can to avoid mistakes. This sense of shame combined with the inevitability of setbacks when attempting difficult things explains why many people give up on their goals: they are not prepared for the mistakes and failures they will face on their way to what they want.
你可以只從你已經承認的錯誤中學習，一旦你開始責備別人，你就會使自己遠離那些可能從中學到東西的可能性。允許錯誤的產生，對于自己私下可能學到的教訓，要是能夠通過把焦點轉移到責備自己并且走向理解層面那該多好啊。明智的人更容易接受他們的錯誤。他們知道做什么時能加速進步。這就是一些人思考人們在錯誤中學不到任何東西的原因。我們在學校中受教育，在家庭或者在工作中對失敗感動愧疚，并盡我們所能來避免錯誤。當結合挫折的必然性解釋了為什么很多人放棄了自己的目標：他們沒有為他們想要走的路上遇到的錯誤和失敗作準備。
In conclusion, we can and could learn good lessons from past mistakes in order to be more successful in our private and public lives.
總之，為了在我們私人和公共的生活中取得更多的成功，我們能從過去的錯誤中學到一堂很好的課。
