M istakes are great teachers. The lessons you learn from them are very specific, compelling and highly appropriate to your own unique situation. Your mistakes are custom-designed lessons, made just for you.
Mistakes are very persistent teachers.
If you fail to learn from them, they'll keep coming back, stronger each time, until you do. Learning from your mistakes is more than just an intellectual exercise. When you've truly learned from a mistake, it will change your actions or behavior. When you realize that you've made a mistake, consider this. If so, then you've made the very best of the situation and used the mistake to your advantage.
