Written by Nothing is as inevitable as a mistake whose time has come.

Mistakes are inevitable, so you should work on two sides: trying to avoid them and reacting fast to the error to minimize consequences.

Learning from mistakes: an art to manage
Errors are everywhere in our life, but just because we tend to feel shy of committing them, we refuse to learn from.
Learning from errors is a key point of growing and enables a mechanism of acquired knowledge that helps us to avoid committing them again.
Life is short and we cannot live committing any error possible, but we are provided with the ability to observe others committing them. This brings us a big knowledge base of errors and solutions (or at least of hints of what shouldn’t be done).
My advice to maximize the learning is:
- Recognize errors (especially yours) and try to debrief on what determined them
- Look for other errors and try to find a cause and a solution that was applicable for them
- Share the situations, the errors and solutions
- Always think to past similar situations before acting

Finagles laws (2,3 and 4)
Second Law: No matter what the anticipated result, there will always be someone eager to (a) misinterpret it, (b) fake it, or (c ) believe it happened according to his own pet theory.
Third Law: In any collection of data, the figure most obviously correct, beyond all need of checking, is the mistake
Fourth Law: Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
