Personal Narrative: Lessons To Learn From Mistakes

In the novel The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster the Princesses Rhyme and Reason teach Milo several lessons. I believe the most important lesson that Rhyme and Reason teach Milo is "You must never feel badly about making mistakes...as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons." I believe that this means that it is OK to make mistakes just as long as you make the effort to learn from your mistakes. If you make a mistake, then you shouldn’t give up but use the information you get to do better next time. I believe that this is the most important lesson he learns because this applies to all areas of his life. Understanding

It should never be necessary to target a group of people for being different. In “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, a group of girls were found dancing in the forest. Betty, the minister’s daughter, becomes sick and they believe she is possessed. Abigail, the minister’s niece, is questioned but blames it all on Tituba. Tituba confesses to have signed a deal with the devil and is seen as saved by God so then Abigail confesses to also be saved and not hung. Abigail blames different people but she also blames John Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth. Abigail goes to Proctor and begs for him back and also confesses to the accusations being false. Many people start going

In “A Mistake that Should Last a Lifetime,” by Jessanne Collins argues that we should learn to deal with our mistakes, live with regrets, and know we can’t change our permanent situations. The narrator made a decision that made her live with a long regret. She tattooed her left wrist with a phrase that said, “Break to keep fixing.” She made a mistake because she was nervous and told the tattoo artist she was ready when she really wasn’t. Her simple tattoo led to a long time of regret. The main of this story are the following words; mistakes, regrets, and permanent. She state, that the only reason she had waiting until she was 25 years old was because she had fear of regretting what she had done again.

Ever since I was four years old, I have done nothing but immerse my life in the sport of baseball. When I was born, the story told was that my Dad had the Cincinnati Reds game on in the hospital room, and one of the first things I saw was the T.V. My Mom said when I was laying in her arms, I had my eyes fixed on the game. I was always around the game. One of my first birthday gifts was a little foam bat and ball. My Dad would toss it to me in the living room and try to teach his one-to-two-year-old child to hit. But I wasn’t really put into the game till I was four years old. Baseball has impacted my life more than anything I have lived through. I believe baseball is more than a sport; it is a teacher.

I don’t recall having a hard time learning how to read. It was one of those things that just came easily to me for some reason. For the most part I enjoyed reading as well. The only time I didn’t enjoy reading was when I didn’t understand a certain word or a certain phrase. One of the strongest memories I have from learning to read was when I was unable to pronounce the word “the”.

In the real world everyone makes mistakes that cannot be fixed. In William Shakespeare 's

“Just because your pain is understandable doesn’t mean your behavior is acceptable.” One important life lesson is that people can change. You can learn this lesson by making mistakes in life, learning from other people and experiencing rough times.

I hope you did not join a gang or use drugs because that would ruin my dreams and my future. D.A.R.E. stands for drug, abuse, resistance, education. We had officer Matt, the best police officer I would ever meet, who teached us a lot of life changing information in a fun way.

Everyone in high school looks to one thing their whole 4 years of high school that is graduation I never really realized it till it hit me I 'm a senior in high school and I have no idea what I am doing I have a 2.0 GPA and I never really took school seriously

There are people in this world who always seem to strive for perfection. A perfectionist is basically a person who who has extremely high standards, a person who believes that there is no room for mistakes, that everything must be flawless. So anything that is less than perfect is absolutely unacceptable.

Grammy Award-winning musician Ziggy Marley is a very creative guy, a dedicated social activist and, as it turns out, a comic book lover. Marley, 42, made an appearance at WonderCon 2011 to promote "Marijuanaman," a comic book superhero that he created in association with Image Comics. "In Jamaica , I used to buy comic books all the time: Batman, Superman, Spider-Man," Marley said in a face-to-face interview at WonderCon 2011. "I have a strong imagination; what I think is not just limited to music. I 'm a scribbler-I like to scribble and draw stuff." Marley said he thought it would be a good idea to put a different light on the Cannabis plant, also known as hemp, by using a superhero that gets his abilities from it. "The plant, in itself, has

Success can mean many things to many different people. Being successful means to reach all of the goals that are set ahead. Every person is different, and that means that each person sees success differently. To some people being successful could be as simple as getting out of bed or getting to work on time. Success is found in all goals that are accomplished no matter how small or large that they are. Being successful doesn 't always mean that one must accomplish goals that are hard. To others it could be marrying the person they love. To be happy with that person for the rest of their life is a big success. Being successful at an educational standpoint would be graduating college with a degree in a future career. The degree would start the person on a path to becoming who they have always wanted to be. There is no limit on being successful. People have chances to be successful each and every day. What it means to be successful is to overcome hardships, to not allow negativity keep you from trying, and to never give up on a goal.

A little mistake that I wished I could take back. Would be dating my ex-boyfriend. Walter is super clingy. When we were dating I didn’t think it would be this bad. Let’s take you back to when it all started.

The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not. My high school teachers would always tell me to wait for the bell, sometimes would not let me leave and if I did not pay attention they would yell. However, I still feel trapped due to the immense academic stress. Academic stress is the worst as it defeats the “freedom”

Making mistakes is an important part of life. We learn from our mistakes. Mistakes are the best lessons of our life. They are something that happens unintentionally and without the knowledge of a human being. The only way mistakes can be avoided is to never do anything. Therefore, in my opinion it is necessary to make mistakes. But the question here is that what when these mistakes made by us, though unintentionally hurt the people around us? Is it the right thing to be done then? The reason as to why it is necessary to make mistakes is that mistakes are a learning experience for us. We learn about ourselves through our mistakes and even learn how to become a better citizen for the society.
