Learning curve

There was this old saying that goes "You should learn from your mistake".

We always learn new stuff every minute of the day. We always make mistakes. Sometimes we learn from our mistakes and look for another solution for the problem. Sometimes we try and try the same solution, despite failing everytime we try it until it finally work.

The solution might not work the first time but after a few times it might work. If that is the case, when do we stop trying and move on to solve the next problem? Had Edison stopped and move on to the next solution, the invention of the light bulb would be years away.

Now things gets more complicated in relationships. Each person we go out with have a different personality. What would be a probable solution to the previous relationship might be a total failure to the current relationship.

I guess in life we are bound to make mistakes anyway... wether we learn anything from our mistakes or not is a different thing afterall. We have to chart our own learning curve be it linear or exponential.

a "how to" recipe for relationships would be like a "how to screw it up" recipe huh?

Let me share with you the Learning cycle from Charles Handy:
First, we ask question.Then look for the probable answer.After that we do it.Then we ponder upon it(ponder means think and reflect).Then the cycle begins again.

Most of us did not learn from our mistakes(that is why history repeats itself) is because we seldom ponder.

Is there a possibility we make a mistake if we did somemething for a first time? If the answer yes, good try but it is not. Mistake is a repeated failure we did. Don't afraid to try.But if failure happened, dont afraid to make a mistake because we will learn from it.

This is an interesting thought I can reflect on. I'm not getting anywhere either when it comes to relationships - so, all the best, to both of us. I hope you don't mind if I pluck a leaf out of your blog for my blog. Coincidentally, it's called Random Thots, too.
