[quote=Anonymous]Isn't all life learning from one's mistakes?  No one is born perfect, and if people weren't willing to learn from mistakes, we'd certainly have no science, engineering, literature, or music.

I think there's a big difference between learning from mistakes (which is an iterative process and make take time) and beating someone up over mistakes they have made.  
The latter is pointless, the former is essential.

I hope I have learned (maybe slowly) from mistakes I've made, and I hope my children learn from theirs.  If I only teach them one thing as a parent, is that mistakes happen, and you learn from them and move forward.  That's life.

And PS -- is anyone else REALLY aggravated by the Yoda "Try Not. Do." thing?  I love Star Wars but everytime I hear someone say that, or see it on a Tshirt, I want to scream, "Yes, try!"  That's all any of us can do.  I don't really care what you DO, at the end of the day, but please TRY.  Anything you were able to do without trying, I'm not really impressed.  If you try your best, but still fail, I am impressed.  Take that, Yoda.[/quote]
