Who's wiser someone who makes their own mistakes or learns from those of others?

Question

God bless all

Answer 1

A person who makes mistakes and does not learn from them is not wise.  You didn't add that part.  A person who makes mistakes and learns from them is wise.  Any learning that takes place is good, IMO.

Answer 2

Someone who takes advantage of EVERY opportunity to learn.

Answer 3

The one that does not repeat them.

The fool is like a dog that returns to his own vomit.

Answer 4

logically the person who learns of others so they dont make mistakes, but if you make the mistake then you know what it feels like which makes you less likely to make the mistake again then somebody who doesn't know what it feels like.

Answer 5

You can learns from your own mistakes as well as from others.

Answer 6

Ideally, the one who learns from others mistakes, but then there's always the, "It could never happen to me!", attitude to take into account. Some people just have to learn the hard way, if they ever do learn.

God bless. <><

Answer 7

Someone who makes their own mistakes.I can get into detail about this but id rather sum it up.....Someone can tell you how hot fire is, but its not until you touch it for yourself that you truly understand how hot it really is.

Answer 8

some one who does both because I doubt there is anyone out there who does either one soley everyone does a bit of both

Answer 9

The one who learns from others

“The shrewd one that has seen the calamity has concealed himself; the inexperienced that have passed along have suffered the penalty.” (Proverbs 27:12)

Hey- you asked who is wisER, it's a comparison, people!

Answer 10

Reading or hearing about the mistakes of others won't make you wise.

You have to experience things yourself and make your own mistakes.

If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't challenging yourself enough to learn anything significant.

Also, just because someone else failed doesn't mean you will too.

Answer 11

The one willing to learn from others, but also the one with courage to make a decision when there is no one around to learn from and follow it through until they have succeeded even if you have to learn from your mistakes.

The only mistake is the one you don't learn from!!

Answer 12

Interesting question.

The wisest is the person that makes no mistakes. But then that person would not be human or living a sheltered life (or no life at all). On the other hand a wealthy person can almost buy their way out of any mistake - so that says a lot as well of what kind of life they lead.

Wisdom is found in learning from one's own mistakes or the mistakes of others.

All the best.

Answer 13

I can tell you that much that you make no mistakes if you do not do anything. Learn from all mistakes, that is wise

Answer 14

someone who learns from their own mistakes is wiser because people tend to forget the mistakes others have made, but if you've already made that mistake, you won't forget it
