Mistakes

Lately I have been thinking about mistakes. As human beings it seems like we make them A LOT...But, are they really mistakes...What would life be with out them? How else can we learn NOT to create the same mistakes, and how else can we grow as individuals?

So are mistake really mistakes ? or just experiences that take us to different levels of understanding who we are?
