If you make a mistake know that from this experience you gained, because you now have experience with enough value to know what not to do again. Many times we can be taught by the experience and the words from someone with a bit more experience in a situation, but we have to remember that at the same time, we are different from everyone else as well. It is these differences within us that help to determine how proactive we will be compared to how reactive we could be if that is how we are built.

It just so happens that the ones who seem to be built most sound in life, those who were able to see dreams, and accomplish their dreams despite however many obstacles are in their path, are more proactive than reactive. Those who are successful understand the principle in life that everyone makes mistakes, but those who become great take each mistake as a lesson learned.
