People are so quick to call things mistakes. Anytime something goes wrong in someones life, it automatically becomes a "mistake". It was a mistake for so and so to date a married man, it was a mistake for so and so to sleep with 5 or 6 girls, it was a mistake for her to get pregnant, it was a mistake for him to quit his job. NO, NO, NO... people these arent mistakes... these are what we call BAD DECISIONS. Bad decisions and mistakes are not synonomous! We must learn that mistakes are things that we accidentally do. It is completely unconscious and most of the time beyond our control.... at least that's what I thought....
Then I looked up "mistake" and the actual definition was "An error or fault resulting from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness"
With this definition, bad decisions seem to definitely be a good way to describe mistakes...
But what if you learned from this "mistake"... and your gained knowledge from your "deficient knowledge"? I mean is that really possible? Can you learn from your ignorance?
