    We can all make mistakes and we also need to learn from the mistake otherwise we will do it again!! It is also good to admit when you have made a mistake rather than try and cover it up – thats what the public would expect us to do. Sometimes it is hard admitting to an error, but it really is the right thing to do.

    Hi aisha,
    Oh this is a difficult one to answer..
    I have made lots of mistakes over the years far too many to mention, but if I have to choose one it would be this;
    I went out on a lads night out a few years ago and drunk to much, (I don’t normally drink a lot but due to me being out with my friends I tried to keep up with them) I spent all night being sick, my wife Adele was not very pleased.
    I have learned from this and now, if I do go out I drink to my limit and not pretend I can drink a lot. 🙁
    Regards
    Gary

    A famous quote from Mr. Oscar Wilde:

    “Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.”

    If you don’t make mistakes you never learn, you’ve got to build on what you did wrong and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
