I saw this on FB today and curious to know what you think about it "You can never make the same mistake twice... because the 2nd time you make it, it's not a mistake, it's a choice"

Sounds about right to me. Especially if it is with the same person.

What if you are a slow learner?

Thinking again? I thought I smelled something smoking! Per your topic, I agree. With love, Tutu.

I have had at least 7 concussions, I used to live by an ice cream shoppe with like 75 odd flavours, my goal was to try them all. Each time I would get one, I would say- this good not great though, hey this taste familiar, Loganberry again! In two years they changed owners and all I ever had was darn Loganberry.

Yes but maybe a 2nd chance in rare circumstances.

Goes hand in hand with Einstein's thought on sanity. "The only insane thing is when you do the same thing over and over and over achieving the same result and expecting something to be different each time you repeat the same thing over and over and over again!

I agree with this statement, but I am also guilty of it. The best thing I can say is, what doesn't work the first time, doesn't mean it won't wont work another.

Humm and here I thought that even the first time was your choice I did not realize we get a freebie on our first try But out of honesty at times even when we realize it was a mistake the first time. We still tend to try it again just to see if maybe we were wrong...Now if ya try it the third time well there is just no hope for ya...

Some people go through life with blinders on. They make the same mistake twice and possibly longer... However, there comes a day when the blinders fall off and they learn from their mistakes. I have seen this happen to many people. I have lived it myself. It made me more accepting of others once I identified it.

That's just silly. I make the same mistakes over and over and over. ~Valleygirl

I saw this on FB today and curious to know what you think about it "You can never make the same mistake twice... because the 2nd time you make it, it's not a mistake, it's a choice" Pfffft. I can test that 8 or 10 times before getting it right.
