A Quote by Olivia Newton-John

My biggest mistake was my best lesson... you don't learn anything when everything is going perfectly. — © Olivia Newton-John
My biggest mistake was my best lesson... you don't learn anything when everything is going perfectly.
I must say that the biggest lesson you can learn in life, or teach your children, is that life is not castles in the skies, happily ever after. The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth. We're all built with illusions. And they break.
When it comes to everybody else's thing and their lane and their timing, I'm never doing anything intentional to, like, come after somebody. That will always be my biggest mistake or anybody's biggest mistake if that's their intention.
A mistake isn't a mistake if you learn a lesson from it.
This is the greatest lesson a child can learn. It is the greatest lesson anyone can learn. It has been the greatest lesson I have learned: if you persevere, stick w/it, work @ it, you have a real opportunity to achieve something. Sure, there will be storms along the way. And you might not reach your goal right away. But if you do your best and keep a true compass, you'll get there.
My biggest lesson is patience. I always want things to happen overnight and they don't. I've had to learn this lesson a few times in life and, usually, it results in taking more time to fix the problem because it was rushed.
Learn to think and judge for yourself, responsibly. Don't accept everything without criticism and as absolutely true, everything which is brought to your attention. Learn from life. The biggest mistake of my life was that I believed everything faithfully which came from the top, and I didn't dare to have the least bit of doubt about the truth of that which was presented to me. Walk through life with your eyes open. Don't become one-sided; examine the pros and cons in all matters.
Sometimes a little heartbreak is a lesson, and the best thing to do is just learn the lesson.
You're mistaken; men of sense often learn much from their enemies. Prudence is the best safeguard. This principle cannot be learnt from a friend: but an enemy extorts it immediately. It is from their foes and not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war. And this lesson saves their children, their homes, and their properties.
I'm for anything that teaches consideration and kindness. If one can teach one's son to dance with the ugliest little girl in the room, that's the best lesson they can ever learn.
The best kids are going to become the best. But the best thing about it is that you're going to learn lessons in playing those sports about winning and losing and teamwork and teammates and arguments and everything else that are going to affect you positively for the rest of your life.
I couldn't change anything without changing the end position, and I'm perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it's left me here.
This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!
Everyone is perfectly willing to learn from unpleasant experience - if only the damage of the first lesson could be repaired.
The biggest mistake I ever made was snorting cocaine. The second biggest mistake was I didn't realize that show business was two words.
As an artist, what do you think the biggest mistake you can make is? My vote for the biggest mistake is being afraid of making mistakes.
I think the biggest lesson that I've learned is that no one owes you anything. It doesn't matter if you've worked with this person, or you have a piece of work that you think is great. It doesn't mean they're going to agree with you and give you money to do it.
