从错误中学习

“因为义人虽七次跌倒，仍必兴起，恶人却被祸患倾倒。” -箴 24:16

我开始领悟从错误中学习，以及将失败重新视为成长机会的好处。导师、朋友乃至陌生人所分享的见解，深刻地帮助我去理解何谓坚毅不屈。

在我年少时，我把失败视为自身不足，但曾经有一位导师对我说：“失败并非成功的对立面，而是成功的一部分。”帮助我认识到错误并非是死胡同，而是通往进步和智慧的踏脚石。

有一个令人难忘的例子，就是我负责的一个项目没有按计划进行，我当时感觉很挫败，但一位睿智的同事鼓励我去分析哪里出了问题，以及下次可以作哪些改变。这让我把那次经历视为一个学习的机会。

我还记得有一位牧师分享了他在事奉上的失败经历，他的坦诚和谦卑教晓我，即使是我们敬仰的人，也会经历挫折。这鼓励我把失败看作是人类共有的经历。

从我们的错误中学习是指要承认错误，寻求反馈，并做出必要的调整。这需要谦卑的态度，以及愿意做出改变的意愿。通过重新审视失败，我们既能够在坚毅中成长，也可加深信赖神的指引，并满怀希望地继续前行。

祷告

天父啊，求祢教导我们从错误中学习，把失败看作是成长的机会吧！帮助我们变得坚韧，并信靠祢提供指引。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

LEARNING FROM MISTAKES

"Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes." - Proverbs 24:16

I’ve come to appreciate the value of learning from mistakes and of reframing failures as opportunities for growth. The insights shared by mentors, friends, and even strangers have profoundly shaped my understanding of resilience and perseverance.

When I was younger, I viewed failure as a reflection of my inadequacy. But a mentor once told me, “Failure is not the opposite of success; it’s part of it.” That helped me to see mistakes not as dead ends but as stepping stones toward improvement and wisdom.

A memorable example was a project I led that did not go as planned. I felt defeated, but a wise colleague encouraged me to analyze what went wrong and what could be done differently the next time. That helped me to see the experience as a learning opportunity.

I also recall a pastor sharing a story of his own failure in ministry. His transparency and humility taught me that even the people we look up to experience setbacks. This encouraged me to view failure as a shared human experience.

Learning from our mistakes means acknowledging them, seeking feedback, and making necessary adjustments. It involves humility and a willingness to change. By reframing failure, we can grow in resilience, deepen our trust in God’s guidance, and continue moving forward with hope.

Father, teach us to learn from our mistakes and to see failures as opportunities for growth. Help us to be resilient and trust in you for guidance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
