It is impossible for an individual not to make mistakes. It is part of the learning process. We learn about life and ourselves through our mistakes. I for o e has made some mistakes in my life, which looking back now, seems silly and brings some feelings of regrets. However, I would never think of trading such mistakes for anything. This is because, those mistakes taught me life lessons which has helped me alot till date.

One mistake I made during my childhood days was abandoning my passion of learning how to play the keyboard, a musical instrument I really wanted to learn back then due to friends and peer pressure. Looking back now, that was very foolish of me. But I remembered how I felt then. I was so small and tender and wating to belong to the happening group.

Another mistakes I have made in my life was being too trusting to people in general. And I learnt my lesson in a hard way. Also letting people's opinion and thoughts of you get into your head was one mistake I think I made sometime ago. I realised later that whatsoever you do, people will always talk and you shouldn't strive to please people but yourself first.

DO YOU THINK THAT IT IS YOUR PAST MISTAKES THAT ARE AFFECTING YIUR GROWTH IN LIFE

I believe the mistakes I have made so far in my life has affected me more of the positive than of the negative.
This is because for every mistake I made, I learnt from it. It moulded and built me to who I am today. I probably should have been falling easily as a prey to the hands of fraudulent people if not for the mistake I made once which taught me not to be too trusting. I also probably would not be true to my self today if not for another mistake which taught me not to let other people's opinion of me matter so much.

So to sum it up, my life mistakes has affected me positively, thank God, as it has made me the person I am today full of good morals and virtues.
