Should We Learn From Our Mistakes Or Not?

We were so focused on getting on time to the airport, we forgot to bring our tickets. The flight was leaving in 1 hour. There was no way we could get home and back in time! We missed the flight to India. But we are all humans. They all make such mistakes! I believe we should learn from our mistakes. We should learn from our mistakes because problems reappear often, problems compound over time, and facing difficult situations build confidence to face an entirely different challenge.                                                                                                                Body

Should We Learn From Our Mistakes Or Not? By: Arjun Agrawal Intro      "Whoops, I forgot to do my homework!" We are all humans. We all make mistakes! I believe we should learn from our mistakes. We should learn from our mistake because, problems reappear often, problems compound over time and facing difficult situations build confidence to face an entirely different challenge. Body Problems reappear        First of all, the situation that led to event in question will likely arise again as history tends to repeats itself. I have experienced this situation before. When I took a math test I got a few answers marked wrong. I didn't care to understand what I did wrong. At the end of the year, there was a star test. Some of the same exact questions from my previous test, were on this test. I got a 85 percentile.  Maybe if I had payed attention to the questions I got wrong in the math test, I could have gotten a 95 percent tile. Problems Compound       Next, situ

Intro                             WWIII 2014 By: Arjun Agrawal What happens: energy exhausted It's the year 2014. Aliens had invaded the planet. We humans, fought valiantly to defend our civilization. By the end of the war, a lot of coal and gas was depleted. After the war everything changed. At first, our electricity started getting cut. Then our fuel prices increased.  How I felt I woke up really late one morning wondering why my alarm didn't wake me up. To my surprise the alarm had stopped working! At first, I thought that my alarm was just broken. I tried to turn on the TV. It didn't work. This meant my house's electricity was out. I asked my neighbor whether he had electricity or not. He had the same problems as me. This meant my whole block's electricity was out. I tried to call my friend. There was no dial tone. Usually, the city always had some reserved power for phones. This meant the whole city was out of electricity!!! I tried to listen to the batte

Intro                             WWIII 2014 By: Arjun Agrawal What happens: energy exhausted It's the year 2014. Aliens had invaded planet. Humans fought using every bit of energy to survive. At the end of the war, alot of coal and  gas was used up. After the war everything changed. At first, our electricity started getting cut, constantly. Then our fuel prices were going up. Eventually it came to the point were all our energy sources were gone.  How I felt I woke up one morning wondering why his alarm didn't wake me up. To my surprise the alarm had stopped working! I soon realized that all modern technology had stopped working. My TV, computer, vehicle, etc. I came to know that after the war all the energy of the world was used up. I was very sad. It was almost a nightmare. I needed modern technology. I was too use to it. But now I had to adapt to the old ways. Such as using candles for light, or using physical books to read, etc. How will people react . How some sur
