What's the best mistake you ever made? I had this asked to me in a job interview. I never had thought about it before.. What is yours?

    Choosing to do music A Level. I failed it, had to do retakes, went to University in a different town a year later than planned, and met my now husband as a result :)

    I agree, it will interesting. i had never thought about it before. It makes you think am I humble, able to realize and admit my mistakes and if i learned from it. Its tough.

    Interestingly enough, not fighting harder to save my (first) marriage.
    Once I saw those divorce papers, I really thought about not signing them and fighting for the marriage.
    I signed them anyway and, for about six months, I second guessed my decision.

    It turned out for the best.

    Nothing wrong with that. We all have done that. Thats a good mistake. I never was that lucky with those things.

    Falling pregnant with my son (too much champagne, not enough precautions, old enough to know better... 'nuff said!).

    He's fourteen now, utterly gorgeous and shaping up into a very fine young man, and having him in my life has enriched it more than I can possibly say (well, him and his younger sister, who was planned with military precision!).

    I always say that he was 'an accident but not a mistake', and I'm very lucky to have him :-)

    The best mistake I have ever made.... would be finding this site....seriously, lol

    It was a complete accident I found this site instead of using spark people

    Typically i would say that if it was a good thing then it wasnt a mistake... mistakes give off a negative feeling IMO

    My best mistake was flirting with my now husband. Nothing can top that! It has turned to be the best thing that have ever happened to me.

    I don't really believe in mistakes. Everything happens for a reason.

    Kinda cheating on my first boyfriend. It sounds like a terrible thing, but I ended up with my current boyfriend because of it. Over two years later, and I don't regret it. I wish I had gone about it a different way (broken up with the first guy first instead of leading him on) but I'm happy with the result.
