Unit 623. Mistakes can be useful.

< 본문 >

Mistakes can be useful.

English On The Go

Mistakes are, simply put, learning opportunities.

I made tons of mistakes with regards to my education, specifically once I graduated from high school.

When I left high school, I went to a community college. 

And because a community college is smaller than a four-year university,

there aren't a ton of resources for counseling and giving students direction on what classes to take 

or how to find out what you're "passionate" about or the things that you want to major in.

So when I first got in, fresh out of high school, 

I was totally confused and I took so many classes that were wastes of my time in the end.

And when I first began to think about those mistakes and reflect on them, I would get so mad at myself.

But then I realized mistakes are just learning opportunities.

And no matter how big or small, that's an opportunity to know what you did wrong and never do it again.

Kyle (남)

Take each mistake as a learning opportunity. Once you learn the lesson, keep that with you, not the mistake itself.

Mistakes become learning opportunities for change through thoughtful reflection. Without that reflection, we are bound to experience that same learning opportunity (repeatedly).
