Making Mistakes

Everyone has made a mistake at some point in their life.  Whether it was a big mistake or a little mistake, everyone has made at least one.  But even though these mistakes might have gotten us into a little bit of trouble, think of how much mistakes impact our world.  If no one ever made any mistakes, the world would get boring.  Did you ever think that mistakes could actually be helping us?  Even if it is only a little, we benefit from our mistakes.

How do our mistakes make our lives better?  Well, take a look at the millions of kids across the world who plays sports every day.  Sports are based off mistakes because not both people can win.  For instance, if you were playing soccer, either the defender or the attacker has to make a mistake, someone  has to get beat, there has to be a winner, there has to be a loser, there is no way they can both be perfect.  Sports are a way for people to enjoy themselves, to have fun, but no one every realizes that all of their happiness is coming from something as terrible as a mistake.

Mistakes can also help create jobs.  Think of how much money professional sports players bring in to our economy.  Plus, they provide news companies with more to talk about.  News companies also get jobs from mistakes.  They either write or talk about what mistakes people made.  Look at how much they talk about car accidents, robberies, and all the other mistakes that people make.  The mistakes that we make are giving people a job and teaching people what is wrong.

The thing with mistakes is that even if you so something terrible, hopefully you can learn from that mistake.  The thing with life is that you have live and learn.  That means that you have live your life freely and when you make a mistake, you have to learn and accept that it was wrong, so that you hopefully won't make the same mistake twice.

Even though they may seem awful, even though they make life harder, even though they might get us in trouble, mistakes are an important part of our lives. They make our lives the way they are an even if we don't like them, they can help us.  Mistakes are like a bowl of candy, some kinds you like , and some you don't.
