How to deal with mistakes
A mistake is valuable if you do four things with it: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it.
1. Recognize it.
Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.
2. Admit it.
You may make mistakes, but you are not a failure until you start blaming someone else.
3. Learn from it.
It’s always about focusing not on the mistakes, but on the lessons learned from them.
Never require repeated criticism for the same mistake.

4. Forget it.
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.
Don’t make a second mistake because you’re thinking about the first.
