    1) Humans often make mistakes but most are blind to their own errors. To learn from a mistake, one must admit to making it rather than blame others. 2) Regretting mistakes is important for learning and not repeating them, but excessive regret can damage self-confidence. Successful people regret less by learning from mistakes instead of dwelling on them. 3) Great leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gandhi were able to identify mistakes, feel regret, and learn from their errors in order to achieve unprecedented success despite failures.

    Accept courageously, Regret less, and learn

    more!

    Humans are bound to make follies. On top of that most of us are blind to
    our follies. One can only learn from a mistake after he/she admits “I
    made it”. As soon as you start blaming other people or for that matter
    destiny, the almighty or the universe itself, you distance yourself from
    any possible lesson. Very few are able to recognize their mistakes and
    only stalwarts are to accept it. Admission of a mistake, even if only
    privately to yourself, makes learning possible by moving the focus away
    from blame assignment towards understanding. Those who are blind to
    their follies obviously won’t have anything to regret and learn. But those
    who are brave enough to accept their mistakes and seriously want to
    correct themselves, for them, regretting is the first stage. Regretting is of
    utmost importance because this would help a person not to repeat the
    same mistakes time and again. The sad thing is that most of them
    indulge themselves so much that they are unable to overcome their guilt.
    At times constant regretting develops a low self image. The confidence,
    back bone for any task, is shaken completely. The precious time which
    was meant for self assessment and introspection is wasted thoughtlessly.
    And in some of the extreme cases, the victim of regretting didn’t realizes
    that the time which could have been utilized to rectify his mistakes is
    now gone regretting. And what follows it is regretting for regretting
    thoughtlessly.
    What sets apart a successful person from an unsuccessful is their ability
    to learn from their mistakes. Learning from mistakes is the best method
    of learning. If one would go through the lives of great men like Abraham
    Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Dhirubhai Ambani, Sourav Ganguly one
    thing that is common is their ability to identify mistakes, regret for it,
    and then come up one more time with mistakes being rectified. Great
    men regret less and learn more from their mistakes. They were
    considered wise because they admitted their mistakes, not just for sake
    of admitting it, but they knew progress will be accelerated if they do so.
    The best they did was studying their past and mistakes they committed,
    practicing for the situation they could face, and get back in the game just
    when everyone has written them off. They all went on to make even
    bigger mistakes in future, I mean meeting successes which was
    unprecedented.
