    How careful should we be in every little action?
    How important is it to be careful?

    ususally the biggest life lessons are learned thru making a mistake about something. at least, that's been my experience.

    But should we intend to make them?

    They wouldn't be mistakes if we intended to make them.

    Then I would say it's not important to make mistakes but to learn from the ones we make constantly, and at least not repeat the same ones. Agree?

    Absolutely. I think mistakes are inevitable so whether they are important to make or not is irrelevant. So, like you said, it is important to LEARN from those we make.

    I think its important to be careful not to make mistakes, but accepting they happen and learning from them is the best way to go.

    I guess it all depends on the mistake. Some we definitely should be careful not to make but some, well there are some you just don't see coming.

    They have a way of disguising themselves.

    It is important to be mindful. Be conscious of what you are doing when you are doing it. Just pay attention to reality, especially when you are doing something that may have disastrous consequences if done without mindful, conscious attention. Like driving, or handling weapons, chemicals or large, heavy things, or speaking to people who are desperately, dangerously in need of guidance or who might put your words into action.

    This consciousness is often the difference between learning from a mistake, and suffering or even dieing from a preventable tragedy.
