It was when I found out I could make mistakes that I knew I was on to something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was knowingly misled but only learned that much later, that's really when I started to become disillusioned at the White House.
I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.
The best mistake I ever made was believing that I was stupid. It was a childhood thing, but it played out big-time as an adult. It scorned me the rest of my life - in a good way.
At least for me, I believe that one learns from one's mistakes. And I made significant mistakes, and I learned from them.
Sometimes it's difficult to accept, to recognise one's own mistakes, but one must do it. I was guilty of overconfidence and arrogance, and I was punished for that.
I made mistakes. I let other people influence me and make decisions, sometimes without my knowledge.
I feel like I've lived a life of making mistakes and learning from them and doing my best to only make each mistake once.
I've made mistakes in my life for sure.
But I certainly made mistakes, for which I regret, I think most human beings in their lifetime make mistakes, mine ended up in two years prison - two very remarkable years from which I learnt a lot.
I think it was when I realised I could talk anybody into doing just about anything I wanted them to.
