You never stop making mistakes. Never. Not everything is a big mistake all the time, even something as small as throwing an empty bottle awkwardly, and missing the bin is a mistake that you learn a lesson from.

You can use the knowledge that you have accumulated, but in the end, you will still make mistakes. Again, making a mistake once is fine, making it more than once is requiring you to open your eyes more. A person who tries to never make a mistake, is making a mistake at the same time.

You learn by making mistakes. How do you learn, if you do not make mistakes?

You learn from making mistakes, but that doesn't mean you should TRY to make mistakes. And if you don't make any mistakes, then why would you want to?

This is kinda what I was getting at. Salvanas kind of 'said' that you should never stop making mistakes, which in the end is not very productive, though I know you meant it in a philosophical way.

The older you get the more responsibility you have and the less forgiving people are for the mistakes you make.

Trying to make mistakes is not what I'm getting at, which is what you're mis-understanding. While living your life, if you make mistakes, you learn from them. You don't make the same mistake again, but you can never stop making mistakes throughout life, so you shouldn't beat yourself up about the mistakes. Just learn form it, and move on.

That was what I was getting at.

Okay, I know what your getting at now. The reason I said you are trying to make mistakes, is from where you said that a person trying not to make mistakes, is making a mistake.....but yeah I know what you mean, I just think you were having a little trouble putting it in words
