Plastics - Jeb Brumley

One piece of advice that has really stuck with me is to learn from your mistakes. Although this is a common saying, it has been very useful to me. When we make a mistake, our first instinct is to feel bad or get frustrated, but we need to put a new perspective on failure. When we doing something wrong, we must figure out how we can do it right. For example, if you do not get a good score on a test at school, think about why this could have happened. If you think you put a reasonable amount of time into studying, maybe you did not get enough rest, or did not eat a good breakfast. There will always be a reason to why you make a mistake and you can learn from it by finding why it happened. For the next test, make sure you get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and be sure that you studied enough. You are sure to not make a worse mistake than before. This advice can be applied to school, athletics, and our everyday lives to keep you from making the same mistake twice.
