When people make mistakes, they can either take responsibility for that mistake or they can lie about it. When people choose to take responsibility for their mistakes, it reveals good character. The only way to really learn from your mistakes is to take full responsibility for them. For people to become better, they have to make mistakes; it is inevitable. It is not good if they don't make mistakes, because then they aren't learning anything. This is the story of how I made a mistake and learned from admitting my wrongs.
When I was a senior in high school, I got a new job at a dentist's office. I worked there as part of a work release program for my school. On my first day, I had to watch videos that informed me about the workplace. My job consisted of cleaning the dentist's and hygienist's tools, running them through a sterilizer, and putting them away in the rooms. I also had to keep track of laundry and occasionally clean rooms after a patient had been in them. In the sterilization room that I worked in, one side was called the "dirty side" and the opposite side was called the "clean side". Tools from the dirty side were not allowed to be put on the clean side without being sterilized

However, this was the day I made the mistake that I would admit to and eventually learn great things from. I took a bag from the dirty side of the sterilization room and put the already sterilized tool inside it. This made the tool contaminated. I then proceeded to place it in the cabinet full of other tools that were sterile. Because of my actions, the entire cupboard of tools was contaminated. The dental clinic could get in lots of trouble if they were to use that tool on a patient. Later after I had made that mistake, one of the other workers discovered it. Being the newest employee, she came and asked me if I had made the mistake. I agreed and admitted I did it. She informed me about the contamination and how it shouldn't happen
Life is full of errors, some that can be fixed while others cannot. Those errors that are not able to be handled and fixed turn out to become mistakes. Due to us being humans, mistakes will always be made throughout our lifetimes making it easy to overcome most of them. One the downfall, we will end up regretting some mistakes wishing we could go back after we’ve made that decision that lead to the mistake. When realizing these regrets, different manners of approaching them exist while it also varying from person to person.
Mistakes are made by everyone whether it be because of confusion, lack of correct information, or just an accident. Mistakes are what make us human because we can't be perfect
“Oh, it was a mistake.” People always say that, and a large number of people don’t learn from their mistakes. Same mistakes keep happening even though the world keeps on saying I promise. People just let things happen because they are selfish and full of greed. There is a book called “Night”.
Mistakes are essential for improvement, whether that’s in science or in social situations. Every error a person makes brings them closer to the right answer or a new discovery. For instance, the discovery of penicillin was based upon a mistake. However, the effect wasn’t a negative
When one does wrong, the common reaction is to hide it and pretend as if nothing happened. Because of the human conscience it is difficult to completely forget about a wrongdoing. Through our conscience guilt is built up and eventually that guilt shatters enough barriers and in turn causes the doer to admit his/her wrong.
It is human nature for everybody to make mistakes. Some mistakes are as little as a typo that can simply be whited out and corrected. Some as big as infidelity in a relationship. Some mistakes are easily forgiven and others not so much. But there is one thing for sure, if mistakes are never made, a person will never know their true purpose in life. Now of course most mistakes you will have to pay for but, every great person has made some sort of mistake to get them where they are now. Every mistake in life is a lesson that contributes to making people successful.
On top of that, I learned a valuable lesson from the failure and the loss as well. From that day forth, the past experiences transformed me to be a hard-working and responsible person. Furthermore, I acknowledged that when something bad happens, it can prepare us for the future obstacles, so let always be optimistic and never give up on trying.
Whenever something goes wrong there is a reason for it. More often than not this comes around to the fault of a human being, and in cases where it can be hard to determine that culprit usually did the action unintentionally. Just because that person did not purposefully commit a discretion does not mean that it was not their fault. Somewhere along the road before deciding on the wrong choice the culprit could have looked over something or made a smaller wrong decision which over time escalated into a major problem. Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, reveals how everyone must take full liability for their actions, even if the results of those actions were indirect or unintentional; without this responsibility, side effects of actions would cause widespread harm.
In the Vancouver Aquarium, there are many aquatic animals that have been encaged for research purposes and entertainment. Some people may say animals have a right to life, and human have no right to interfere in their natural lives because they are living creatures just like us. However, Kant (239) suggests that “animals are not included in the moral community because they lack rational autonomy”. Based on this principle, in Kant’s view, disagrees having animal right that people do not have an obligation to treat animals as same as other human beings.
Nobody is perfect and as we move forward in this era of self-knowledge and self-discovery, it is vital to acquire the ability to recognize our own mistakes. We all do some mistakes at some point of our lives which hurt another person. The difference lies acknowledging that we have done something wrong, some acknowledge immediately and some take time.
It is never easy to admit you’ve made a mistake, but it is a crucial step in learning, growing, and improving yourself. You can only learn from a mistake after you admit you’ve made it. As soon as you start blaming other people, you distance yourself from any possible lesson or reason. In the article “How to identify and learn from your mistakes” Berkun explains why it is hard to admit that you’ve made a mistake. “It’s never easy to admit you’ve made a mistake, but it’s a crucial step in learning, growing, and improving yourself.

It is very hard for people to accept their mistakes, but the hardest part is to correct them since no one is perfect and it might take some time as well. Some people think they are too perfect in life; unfortunately, I am one of those who believe it. However, thinking that I am a perfect person does not make any harm to people, but, when I come back to reality and see things around me from a different point of view, I realize that are my bad habits the ones hurting my family and friends. Therefore, being always late, being lazy, and drinking heavily has marked my family and friends deeply, causing on me a bad reputation and a bad person in life.
Mistakes are actually a very influential part of a person’s upbringing in life. Mistakes shape a person’s character to make them who they are today. A mistake can teach someone many different life lessons that will better them as a person and make their lives more enjoyable. A person will commit a mistake usually when he or she is distracted.

The real intelligent people are people who confess with their own mistakes and comply with others’ advice. Moreover, they will accept to improve themselves. For example, when you make some mistakes, you cannot only say sorry. However, you have to sincerely show that you try to solve the problem, so it makes others to feel that you are really confessing with your mistakes. Some proud people cannot admit their mistakes, and do not listen to others’ reprimand. It means that they obstruct themselves from the others’ good will, so it leads them to repeat the same mistakes because they do not want to solve the problem. Moreover, for instance, if some well-wishers try to caution a guy that he does something wrong, but the guy does not listen to their warning. Hence, they do not try for the second time to tell this guy about his mistakes. It means that the guy does not admit his fault, and no one else wants to warn him
Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience just from all of my own little mishaps, and a few major ones.
