       Perhaps we learned not to be so reckless in our stock investments, presuming upon the future that this stock is going to keep going up and up. Maybe it was learned that skipping your child’s recital didn’t go over too well. It didn’t go over well with the child, for he was upset for several days afterward, and it didn’t go well with the wife. When we learn new things, we can put those things into practice to give us happier lives. The reason it’s good to list our mistakes is so that we can see that mistakes are necessary to in fact grow. It’s just the way it is. There should never be long term regret over any mistake. Someone might say, “How is that? You’re crazy.” Nah, I don’t think that I am because with any mistake, no matter how small or big, there are things that we learn. Obviously, we weren’t trying to do wrong at the time we made the mistake, right? That’s usually the case. Okay, so you and I obviously didn’t possess all the knowledge we needed back at that time to make a better choice. Well, now after making the mistake, we do possess the knowledge. And this knowledge can surely help us in other related areas of life as well. It’s a domino effect of goodness.
