Think and Grow Rich test: Do you learn from your mistakes?
My answers to the Think and Grow Rich Self-Assessment Test
Recently, I was reminded of the self-assessment test in Napoleon Hill’s best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich.
There are fifty-four questions in that test, and I’m going to be giving my answers and thoughts on one or two of them as close to daily as I can manage. I may miss a day here or there, but I’m going to follow through until I reach the end of the test.
I’ve started the series of posts with:
Question Number 11. Do you learn from your mistakes?
Finally, an easy question to answer.
I do, indeed, learn from my mistakes. Always.
For this question, there are no parenthetical phrases, equivocations, or multiple points of view.
What about you?
Do you learn from your mistakes?
Act on your dream!

I go back and forth. I learn from most mistakes, but I’m not sure I’m learning the lessons I’m supposed to be learning. Good or bad; that’s pretty much a shame.
I’ll have to think about that one some more, that’s for sure.
Mitch´s last blog ..President Obama Calls Limbaugh A Racist! 
Good morning, Mitch.
You bring up an important point.
Are we learning the lessons we’re supposed to be learning?
How do we know?
I’m sure that I learn from each of my mistakes, and I try hard not to repeat the same mistake very often.
Still, perhaps there is an overall lesson I’m not learning.
I’ll have to think about that one some more, too.
All the best,
JD

- John Good morning! I enjoyed snuggling under the covers last night. It's a beautiful day. Still have the jitters and took a handful of assorted pills. Feeling okay, but very tired. August 31, 2010
- John I got home from a full day of chemo and I'm wearing a pump for two more days. I'm doing okay, so far. I'll check in again, later. August 30, 2010
- John A real man doesn't love one woman a million ways -- he kinda likes all women a little bit. (grin). August 29, 2010
- John Today's my day to rest, relax, and play with some of my websites that are going to get totally redone when I'm stronger. We start round three of chemo tomorrow morning, so I probably won't be on Facebook much the next two or three days. August 29, 2010
- John Good morning, friends and neighbors. It's a good day to be alive and enjoy all that we have. Every morning, when I wake up, I'm grateful to live where I want, to be part of a loving family, and to have such wonderful friends. August 28, 2010

- John Good morning, Planet Earth (and nearby star systems). It's a great day to live in the mountains. Cool crisp mornings and warm afternoons. Fred says cockadoodle-wake-up! What's for breakfast? August 27, 2010
- John While at the Folk School today, I visited with my good friend David A. Brose who is the Folklorist at the school. It's been years, and we had a great chat. I think teaching or performing at the Folk School would be a dream job. If you're ever offered the chance, I'd say jump for it. August 26, 2010
- John I finally made it to John C. Campbell Folk School today. It's been years since I've visited and it's growing! More buildings, more dorms, more reasons for you to take a class and improve your skills or learn something new. August 26, 2010
