Throughout history the wisest people made mistakes. Their bad decisions usually happened when strong emotions took control of them: They were angry, upset, or madly in love.

Don’t get distraught over a blunder you made. You’ll make another one. You’re fortunate to realize you messed up. If you can’t change an outcome, learn from your mistake and move on. But if you can correct your error and change things, it’s a bigger mistake not to.
