Feedback Thoughts: Learning from Mistakes

Yesterday, i had a short Accounting quiz and our professor allowed to have a small discussion with my partner. I chose answer B and my partner chose A for the same question. I convinced her that the answer should be B. Then she changed her mind. Guess what? A is the right one. I've made a mistake. Now what?

 Life is not always perfect. As humans we make mistake all the time. Making mistake is how we can learn and grow. Some recognize the mistakes that they did and learn from that lesson and move on. The others try to hide them.

As a result, Kathie, an associate-director of SEHN and Gergen, co-founder of smarthinking.com, had gained trust and supportive from their colleagues and bosses again.

However, some people afraid of making mistake, so they avoid doing new things, because doing so make them feel horrible about themselves. Those people should think out of the box.

How can you become a doctor if you always afraid of making mistake, since a wrong decision can result a deadly consequence?

Bonus point: About my partner, i apologized her after knowing what i did wrong for the question. She said "that's ok". However, she was sad a little bit because it would probably lower her grade.
