It is necessary for us to learn from others' mistakes. You will not live long enough to make them all yourself.

The Evil Eye
Whos that a-knockin at my door tonight?
Leave me alone till theres morning light
You live and learn, you make mistakes
You cant imagine why
The fire burns for heavens sake
Look out for the evil eye
Who was that damsel with that wicked stare?
Get off my case and take your sins elsewhere
You love and learn, you cross that bridge
You want to pacify
The tables turn and youve dug your ditch
Look out for the evil eye
Oh look out!
Oh look out!
I said look out!
I said look out!
You live and learn, you make mistakes
You wonder how and why
The fire burns for heavens sake
Look out for the evil eye
Oh look out!
Oh look out!
I said look out!
I said look out!

I don't want to give any advice to a 19-year-old, because I want a 19-year-old to make mistakes and learn from them. Make mistakes, make mistakes, make mistakes. Just make sure they're your mistakes.

How Long
2+2,
Me and you,
Strollin' down the avenue,
I never knew that this was meant to be.....
And all those times we looked into each other's eyes,
I did it again, I did it again, I did it for you!
Holding on,
To a song,
I guess it's time we passed it on.....
Because one of us keeps changing everyday...
And all those times we told each other little lies....
I did it again, i did it again, I did it for you!
How long before we learn to live and fly away?
How long before we learn to live another day?
Woah-oah....
And all those times we broke our hearts despite ourselves......
I did it again, I did it again, I did it for you!
How long before we learn to live and fly away?
How long before we learn to live another day?
Woah-oah......

We've all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it's more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.

Learn
when broken
learn
when happy
learn
when bored
learn
when you float and does not know what to do
learn just the same
when filled with idealism
learn
when fed with what you cannot swallow
learn again
when the times get rough and you want to kill yourself
learn, learn, learn
you still have many things to learn
faces of life
bodies of life
learn, learn, learn everything
do not surrender
for in truth, you do not do what you only want
you will also do what you are told to do
no questions asked
or you will be left out
or you will be not a part of the picture
this life
learn, learn, learn, always learn
do not surrender
live, learn, live, learn
you will soon do all that others will tell you
learn, learn and learn again
and sooner you will have learned everything
and then do what you want to do
with firm conviction
you know now what is right
and that is what you will do,
now without even being told
you have become yourself
but still learn, learn, and learn again
because
you might be wrong,
try thinking some more, learn
relearn, learn, learn, learn, forevermore....

I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.

Progress
If life was supposed to be easy,
And things happened by request.
Would you take everything fore granted?
And never try your best?
Everyone needs some failures,
And success, is there to earn.
If everything is handed to us,
How are we supposed to learn?
Mistakes they turn to wisdom,
And the wisdom we pass on.
To our children and their children,
After we are gone.
They will learn from our mistakes,
And then they'll make their own.
They'll learn through all that they've done wrong,
And see how much they've grown.
This is what's called progress,
It helps us to advance.
It's better to fail than not to try,
So always take the chance.

Mistakes
Time is something we would all like to control;
with it, we could change the destinies of our lives.
We could go back to amend the mistakes we have made,
helping where we should have helped, but did not to our regret.
If we had the chance, would it make us better than we are today?
I doubt it very much, for we would never move forward.
We would still be learning,
or at least trying to learn from the first mistake we made.
Better, we move forward and learn to help others
not to make the same mistakes we made.

If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more changes to learn and win.

How to Make Mistakes
Any one came make a mistake
but few know how to do it expertly.
Since I have so much experience here
I offer then
to provide
a primer
such that you can abide
in my attempts
to upgrade
the caliber
of the mistakes you make.
First communicate about your mistakes
you'll find millions
who then become your friends
you'll learn to laugh and cry with them
and so understand that
on Earth
Mistakers are the majority
and thereby are never at a loss for company.
All you have to say is
'I often make mistakes, ' and you are in.
Deniers always blame the other
but even if other are truly really to blame
true Mistakers never do that
because that puts you alone with yourself
fighting and blaming the world
and that is a Lonely Stance too far.
Next, really master your art
go into detail about it
enjoy the wallowing through
because if you do
you will come out the other side more mistake proof.
Saying 'I made a mistake here, ' without guilt, being intimidated or exaggerating,
without bitterness
being willing to allow your self this humanness
is to rise above eeven one's biggest most awful mistakes.
In coming through all this
you will have many many friends,
because Mistakers really really understand and we are millions
And
more
even if you are surrounded by others
who can't or won't do this
keep your hand because doing this takes courage
and know that some day many of them
will take your offered hand
rather than continue to live in their mistake denying aloneness.

Human Nature
Why dose human nature
make life a misery
Never really knowing
the paths you chose to lead
For some their lives are easy
for others not so good
The consequences of actions
often blind the good
At times in life you feel
right choices you have made
But then you start to see
those choices weren't meant to be
The regrets that often stem
From bad choices in one's life
Makes you feel unworthy
to live a better life
So how does one learn
to forgive one self's mistakes
That has hurt so many beings
and made them weary of your plight
Is it true what people say
You learn from your mistakes
are you careful not to make
another foolish mistake
So now I take a step
Towards healing all my regrets
and hope that one day
I'll be a better human being

To Make That Same Mistake Again
(r. murrah, r. leigh)
Of all the broken hearts Ive had
This one hurts the worst
His love flowed like a river
Now Im dying of thirst
If loving him too much is why
I lost him in the end
Then I hope I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again
Well they say that love can be so strong that its the choking kind
I never thought Id see the day when love would be a crime
Mistakes can cost a lot and it
Sometimes we lose to win
Oh I hope I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again
Oh I may go crazy missing him
Knowing that its my fault
But how could I have loved him less
Oh I tremble at the thought
And its amazing how Im holding on
With the shape Im in
Oh I hope that I can live long enough
To make that same mistake again

The beauty of 'spacing' children many years apart lies in the fact that parents have time to learn the mistakes that were made with the older ones-which permits them to make exactly the opposite mistakes with the younger ones.

Its Not The Same For Us
I know you live on my street
I sometimes wonder
Why we dont meet
Ive seen your face in the sky
Twenty-five stories high
You never come down to earth
Communication (communication)
Could hardly be much worse
Dont keep me here in the dark
I want to be your friend
Your fears are way off the mark
Every generation
Sees it their own way
Never learning their lessons
Making the same mistakes again
Its not the same for us - as history fades away
Its not the same for us - you must hear me when I say
Look out on this brave new land
Think of the future
The future that lays in our hands
Our leaders live in the past
We can change it
Theres something to hope for at last
Every generation
Sees it their own way
Why dont we learn our lessons
Dont make the same mistakes again
(chorus)
What dreams are you chasing now?
What are you living for?
The problems that were facing now
Nobody faced before
Please dont reject me
In anger or in sorrow
Youve got to accept me
If were to make a better tomorrow
Its not the same - its not the same for us
