Thanks for dropping by. I agree, there are many times I feel something is insignificant the first go around, then the next time, I recognize and hopefully note the mistake so I learn from it. Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks for the kind words, and nice way of putting it, “the best lessons are learned through our failures”

Your article is right on the ball. Mistakes is there because we ought to learn from it. There are times we make mistakes and then forget about them and then do them again. You know why this happen because we thought it was insignificant but no mistakes are. Learning from them strengthen us. Thank you for a wonderful article.

“We will never stop making mistakes, just like our brains never stop learning.”

This post is so perfect. It’s so true. Mistakes help us learn, to know the better way. I’m not say let us all go and make mistakes. I’m just saying that, sometimes it’s okay to make mistakes, for the best lessons are learned through our failures.

You said it, just like they say, “never trust a skinny chef” if you haven’t made any mistakes, your probably lying to yourself

I’ve yet to see anyone who has been a financial success story say that he has not committed any mistakes. Anyone who does so probably just had their wealth handed to them. Now I’m not professing to be a success but I just think mistakes are unavoidable and the best we can do is just learn from them. Cash today is hard; we earn it, we lose it. What’s important is that we live a full life regardless of how much we have.

FB, Great comment, you are being you as we all should be we! When I first started this blog, like I said, things took far too long. I was trying to write like I was some PF professional which I am not and I even felt pretentious at times. Now I write like a person, and ya know what, more people relate now and visit than before

I love that mistakes help us build our competency.. which is exactly what “experience” is Without mistakes, you don’t learn!

Still, for blogging and PFing, I make a ton of mistakes but I don’t sweat it

It’s just for fun anyway, and I have a good grip on both areas overall… so I’m not really sweating details or being perfect

I’m just being me.
