…or do you need to make mistakes of your own?
I think there are people who take cautionary tales and others’ life lessons and apply them to their own lives and others who would rather make their own mistakes and experience the good and the bad of their decisions.
Which kind of person are you?

I think a lil bit of both.
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
I think I've always learned from others' mistakes, rather than making my own.
Looking back I wonder if I've missed out on an important part of life.
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
Life is too short to make mistakes, so one should learn from someone else's mistakes- it's doesn't cost you anything and you don't have to make the same fault twice. Having said that, making my very own mistakes kinda helped me to understand the lesson I was taught better because it was me who had to face all the consequences, not someone else..
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
tough question.....I like to think that I've learned from other's mistakes but I'm sure that I can find some really bad decisions that I didn't have to take....
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
I generally try to learn from others mistakes, but there are few key instances where I want to make my own mistakes and learn from them, rather than be warned from not so desireable consequences of someone else's steps.

A human being who hasn't made a single mistake all his life doesn't exist. We all make mistakes, not necessarily drastic or life-changing, so it mightn't be a few years down the line that we actually recognise them.
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
Yes I always try to learn from others mistakes n of course by my own mistakes also
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
from my teen years to my mid 20's I made all the mistakes myself (yes I have been that foolish) learned a lot of things the hard way, after those years I watch and learn from other's mistakes, hopefully I don't ever become 'Ibrat ka nishan' for others shudders
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
'Ibrat ka nishan'
okay....now that's enough to send shivers down my spine!!!
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
for the most part, you cannot learn from the experiences of others.
Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
I learn from my own mistakes..i cannot stop doing something until I experience it myself
Re: Do you learn from other people's mistakes...?
I don't think it's as easy to group people like that, I take advice to a degree but then realise that life is about making mistakes so it's a miss mash.
