Experience is the best teacher, but the price of learning is too high.
(T. Carlyle.)
Every person is prone to make mistakes. What is an error? A mistake is an incorrectness in actions, deeds, thoughts, statements. This is something that I would not like to repeat, because it is perceived as negative. But, unfortunately, mistakes are made again and again. Is it always bad to make mistakes? No. On the one hand, making mistakes is necessary for a person. It is important to analyze the experience of each mistake in order to avoid them in the future, otherwise mistakes will not teach us anything. On the other hand, a series of the same mistakes can lead to serious consequences.
In the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" Prince Andrei goes to the war of 1805.
The reason for this act was the desire of the prince for "his Toulon", for glory, like Napoleon. Andrew wants power and worship him. On the battlefield, Prince Andrei performs a heroic deed - he raises the banner and leads the soldiers forward. But he is wounded, the sky of Austerlitz opens before him (“How could I not have seen this high sky before? And how happy I am that I finally recognized it.<...>Everything is a lie except this endless sky"). Having tasted death and looking at the high sky, the prince realizes that he made a mistake and changes his life position. In the future, Andrei continues his life quest. He will also make a number of mistakes, but these mistakes will become for him experience to find the right path: a feeling of Christian love for Natasha, rapprochement with the people ("Our prince?").
In the story "Morphine" M.A. Bulgakov shows how the doctor Sergei Polyakov, who made a number of the same mistakes, becomes a drug addict. It all started when the doctor felt severe pain in the stomach. Then the doctor was forced to inject morphine. The next day, Sergei did it again on his own ("I injected one centigram into my thigh on my own"). This caused addiction, but the doctor only consoled himself ("four injections are not terrible"). The need for morphine is growing more and more, the behavior of the doctor is changing ("For the first time I discovered in myself an unpleasant ability to get angry ... scream at people ..."). Initially, this man understood that the use of drugs could lead to irreversible consequences, but the state of euphoria made him take morphine again and again. The doctor realizes that he suffers from morphinism ("I am the unfortunate doctor Polyakov who fell ill with morphinism"), but does not lose hope for recovery, although this hope was desperate. The doctor's condition gradually worsened, he already feels that death is near. Desperate, the doctor soon commits suicide.
Thus, there is no experience without mistakes, these concepts are interrelated, but sometimes mistakes can lead to serious consequences.
1. I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov"
The protagonist of the novel Ilya Oblomov, starting his career, commits a misstep in the service and sends an important dispatch instead of Astrakhan to Arkhangelsk. Then he suddenly falls ill, in the medical certificate issued by the doctor, it is testified: "Thickening of the heart with enlargement of the left ventricle thereof", caused by daily "going to office". This mistake led to the subsequent eternal lying on the couch, from which even all the attempts of Stolz do not save. So a mistake in the service became fatal for Oblomov.
2. M.A. Sholokhov "Quiet Flows the Don"
Grigory Melekhov, being a young, strong Cossack, chooses the most beautiful young Cossack girl Aksinya for lovemaking. It's a common thing for a Cossack village. But the problem lies in the amazing origin of the entire Melekhov family, in its genesis. And Aksinya, who had never known love, for the first time understood the charm of this feeling. In the village, the Cossacks were embarrassed to look into Aksinya's shameless eyes. But his father's order to marry Natalya becomes fatal for Gregory.

3. E.I. Zamyatin "We"
The protagonist of the novel, D-503, is a cog in the mechanism of the United State. He lives in a world where there is no love (it is replaced by "pink coupons"). The meeting with I-330 strikes the hero's imagination. He falls in love. By law, he must report to the guardians about the crime into which his girlfriend is dragging him. But he hesitates and loses time. The mistake becomes fatal for I-330.
4. V.F. Tendryakov "Bread for the dog"
Volodya Tenkov finds himself at the most terrible time in the years of the great turning point in the very center of the battle. On the one hand, these are well-fed representatives of the nomenklatura of the party leadership, where there are pies, borscht and delicious kvass. On the other hand, people thrown to the sidelines of life. Former "fists" today are "shockets" and "elephants", causing pity for the boy. Trying to help them becomes a mistake. Rescues a child sick with mercy, an old sick dog.
5. V. Bykov "Sotnikov"
The protagonist of the story - Sotnikov - experienced a shock in his life. He, disobeying his father's prohibition, took his nominal pistol, which suddenly fired. It was hard for the boy to confess this to his father, but he did it not of his own free will, but at the request of his mother. When the boy told his father about his crime, he forgave him, but asked if he himself decided to do it? The child was not ready to answer this question and cowardly said: “Yes.” The poison of lies forever burned Sotnikov's soul, reminding him of a childhood mistake. This offense became decisive in the life of Sotnikov.
Do I need to analyze my mistakes? In order to reveal the set topic, it is necessary to define the definitions of the main concepts. What is experience? And what are errors? Experience is the knowledge and skills that a person has received in each of life situations. Errors - incorrectness in actions, deeds, statements, thoughts. These two concepts, which cannot exist without each other, are tightly connected. The more experience, the less mistakes you make - this is a common truth. But you can't gain experience without making mistakes - that's the harsh reality. Every person in his life stumbles, makes mistakes, does stupid things. You can’t do without it, it’s the ups and downs that teach us to live. Only by making mistakes and learning from problematic life situations can we develop. That is, it is possible and even necessary to be mistaken and go astray, but the main thing is to analyze mistakes and correct them.
Very often in world fiction, writers touch on the topic of mistakes and experience. So, for example, in the epic novel “War and Peace” by L.N. Tolstoy, one of the main characters, Pierre Bezukhov, spent all his time in the company of Kuragin and Dolokhov, leading an idle lifestyle, not burdened by worries, sorrows and thoughts. But, gradually realizing that panache and secular promenade are empty and aimless pursuits, he realizes that this is not for him. But he was too young and ignorant: to draw such conclusions, one must rely on experience. The hero can not immediately understand the surrounding people, and very often makes mistakes in them. This is clearly manifested in the relationship with Helen Kuragina. Later, he realizes that their marriage was a mistake, he was deceived by "marble shoulders". Some time after the divorce, he joins the Masonic lodge and, apparently, finds himself. Bezukhov is engaged in social activities, meets interesting people, in a word, his personality acquires integrity. A beloved and devoted wife, healthy children, close friends, an interesting job are the components of a happy and fulfilling life. Pierre Bezukhov is exactly the person who, through trial and error, finds his meaning of existence.
Another example can be found in the story "The Enchanted Wanderer" by N.S. Leskov. The main character Ivan Severyanych Flyagin had to drink the bitter cup of trial and error. It all started with an accident in his youth: the mischief of a young postilion cost the life of an old monk. Ivan was born the “promised son” and from birth was destined to serve God. His life leads from one trouble to another, from test to test, until his soul is cleansed and brings the hero to the monastery. For a long time he will die and not die. Many he had to pay for his mistakes: love, freedom (he was a prisoner in the Kirghiz-Kaisak steppes), health (he was recruited). But this bitter experience, better than any persuasion and demands, taught him that one cannot escape fate. The vocation of the hero from the very beginning was religion, but a young man with ambitions, hopes and passions could not consciously accept the rank, which is required by the specifics of the church service. Faith in a priest must be unshakable, otherwise how will he help his parishioners find it? It was a careful analysis of his own mistakes that could lead him to the path of true service to God.
"Experience and Mistakes"
Official comment:
Within the framework of the direction, it is possible to reason about the value of the spiritual and practical experience of an individual, people, humanity as a whole, about the price of mistakes on the way of knowing the world, gaining life experience. Literature often makes one think about the relationship between experience and mistakes: about experience that prevents mistakes, about mistakes without which it is impossible to move along the path of life, and about irreparable, tragic mistakes.
“Experience and mistakes” is a direction in which a clear opposition of two polar concepts is implied to a lesser extent, because without mistakes there is no and cannot be experience. The literary hero, making mistakes, analyzing them and thereby gaining experience, changes, improves, embarks on the path of spiritual and moral development. Giving an assessment of the actions of the characters, the reader acquires his invaluable life experience, and literature becomes a real textbook of life, helping not to make one's own mistakes, the price of which can be very high. Speaking about the mistakes made by the heroes, it should be noted that an incorrectly made decision, an ambiguous act can affect not only the life of an individual, but also most fatally affect the fate of others. In literature, we also encounter such tragic mistakes that affect the fate of entire nations. It is in these aspects that one can approach the analysis of this thematic direction.
Aphorisms and sayings of famous people:
You should not be shy for fear of making mistakes, the biggest mistake is to deprive yourself of experience. Luc de Clapier Vauvenargues
In all matters, we can only learn by trial and error, falling into error and correcting ourselves. Karl Raimund Popper
Take advantage of every mistake. Ludwig Wittgenstein
Modesty can be appropriate everywhere, but not in the matter of admitting one's mistakes. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
It is easier to find the error than the truth. Johann Wolfgang Goethe

M. Yu. Lermontov novel "A Hero of Our Time"
Only after losing Vera, Pechorin realized that he loved her. The worst mistake is not to appreciate what you have.
A secular lady and a relative of Princess Mary, Vera, arrived in Kislovodsk. Readers learned that Pechorin was once passionately in love with this woman. She also kept in her heart a bright feeling for Grigory Alexandrovich. Vera and Gregory met. And here we already saw another Pechorin: not a cold and evil cynic, but a man of great passions, who has not forgotten anything and feels suffering and pain. After meeting with Vera, who, being a married woman, could not connect with the hero in love with her, Pechorin threw himself into the saddle. He galloped over mountains and dales, exhausting his horse greatly.
On a horse exhausted from fatigue, Pechorin accidentally met Mary and frightened her.
Soon Grushnitsky, with an ardent feeling, began to prove to Pechorin that, after all his antics, he would never be received at the princess's house. Pechorin argued with his friend, proving the opposite.
Pechorin went to the ball to Princess Ligovskaya. Here he began to behave unusually courteously towards Mary: he danced with her like a fine gentleman, protected her from a tipsy officer, helped to cope with a swoon. Mary's mother began to look at Pechorin with different eyes and invited him to her house as a close friend.
Pechorin began to visit the Ligovskys. He became interested in Mary as a woman, but the hero was still attracted to Vera. On one of the rare dates, Vera told Pechorin that she was mortally ill with consumption, so she asks him to spare her reputation. Vera also added that she always understood the soul of Grigory Alexandrovich and accepted him with all his vices.
Pechorin, nevertheless, got along with Mary. The girl confessed to him that she was bored with all the fans, including Grushnitsky. Pechorin, using his charm, from nothing to do, made the princess fall in love with him. He couldn’t even explain to himself why he needed it: either to have fun, or to annoy Grushnitsky, or maybe show Vera that someone needed him too and, thereby, call her jealousy. Gregory succeeded in what he wants: Mary fell in love with him, but at first she hid her feelings.
Meanwhile, Vera began to worry about this novel. On a secret date, she asked Pechorin never to marry Mary and promised him a night meeting in return.
Pechorin, on the other hand, began to get bored in the company of both Mary and Vera.
Vera confessed to her husband her feelings for Pechorin. He took her out of the city. Pechorin, having learned about the imminent departure of Vera, mounted a horse and tried to catch up with his beloved, realizing that he had no one in the world more precious than her. He drove the horse, which died before his eyes.
A. S. Pushkin novel "Eugene Onegin"
People tend to do reckless things. Eugene Onegin rejected Tatyana, who was in love with him, which he regretted, but it was too late. Mistakes are thoughtless actions.
Eugene lived an idle life, walking along the boulevard during the day, and in the evening visiting luxurious salons, where famous people of St. Petersburg invited him. The author emphasizes that Onegin, "afraid of jealous condemnations", was very careful about his appearance, so he could be in front of the mirror for three hours, bringing his image to perfection. Yevgeny returned from the balls in the morning, when the rest of the inhabitants of St. Petersburg rush to work. By noon, the young man woke up and again
"Until the morning his life is ready,
Monotonous and motley.
However, is Onegin happy?
“No: early the feelings in him cooled down;
He was tired of the noise of the world.
Eugene closes himself off from society, locks himself at home and tries to write on his own, but the young man does not succeed, because "he was sick of hard work." After that, the hero begins to read a lot, but understands that literature will not save him either: "like women, he left books." Eugene from a sociable, secular person becomes a closed young man, prone to a "caustic dispute" and "joke with bile in half."
Eugene lived in a picturesque village, his house was by the river, surrounded by a garden. Wanting to somehow entertain himself, Onegin decided to introduce new orders in his possessions: he replaced the corvée with "easy quitrent". Because of this, the neighbors began to be wary of the hero, believing that "he is the most dangerous eccentric." At the same time, Eugene himself shunned his neighbors, avoiding getting to know them in every possible way.
At the same time, a young landowner Vladimir Lensky returned to one of the nearest villages from Germany. Vladimir was a romantic nature. However, among the villagers, the figure of Onegin attracted Lensky's special attention, and Vladimir and Eugene gradually became friends.
Tatyana:
"Dika, sad, silent,
Like a doe forest is timid.
Onegin asks if he can see Lensky's beloved and a friend calls him to go to the Larins.
Returning from the Larins, Onegin tells Vladimir that he was pleased to meet them, but his attention was more attracted not by Olga, who "has no life in features", but by her sister Tatyana "who is sad and silent, like Svetlana." The appearance of Onegin at the Larins caused gossip that, perhaps, Tatyana and Evgeny were already engaged. Tatyana realizes that she has fallen in love with Onegin. The girl begins to see Eugene in the heroes of novels, dreaming about a young man, walking in the "silence of the forests" with books about love.
Eugene, who was disappointed with relationships with women even in his youth, was touched by Tatyana's letter, and that is why he did not want to deceive the gullible, innocent girl.
Meeting Tatyana in the garden, Evgeny spoke first. The young man said that he was very touched by her sincerity, so he wants to "repay" the girl with his "confession". Onegin tells Tatyana that if a “pleasant lot had commanded” him to become a father and husband, then he would not have been looking for another bride, choosing Tatyana as a “friend of days<…>sad." However, Eugene "is not made for bliss." Onegin says that he loves Tatyana like a brother, and at the end of his "confession" turns into a sermon to the girl:
“Learn to rule yourself;
Not everyone will understand you like me;
Inexperience leads to trouble."
After a duel with Lensky, Onegin leaves
The narrator meets again with the already 26-year-old Onegin at one of the social events.
At the party, a lady appears with the general, who attracts the general attention of the public. This woman looked “quiet” and “simple”. Evgeny recognizes Tatyana in a secular lady. Asking a familiar prince who this woman is, Onegin learns that she is the wife of this prince and is really Tatyana Larina. When the prince brings Onegin to the woman, Tatyana does not betray her excitement at all, while Eugene is speechless. Onegin cannot believe that this is the same girl who once wrote him a letter.
In the morning, Evgeny was brought an invitation from Prince N., Tatyana's wife. Onegin, alarmed by memories, eagerly goes to visit, but the “stately”, “careless legislator of the hall” does not seem to notice him. Unable to stand it, Eugene writes a letter to the woman, in which he confesses his love for her.
One spring day, Onegin goes to Tatiana without an invitation. Eugene finds a woman weeping bitterly over his letter. The man falls at her feet. Tatyana asks him to get up and reminds Evgeny how in the garden, in the alley, she humbly listened to his lesson, now it's her turn. She tells Onegin that she was in love with him then, but found only severity in his heart, although she does not blame him, considering the man's act noble. The woman understands that now she is in many ways interesting to Eugene precisely because she has become a prominent secular lady. In parting, Tatyana says:
“I love you (why lie?),
But I am given to another;
I will be faithful to him forever"
And leaves. Eugene is "as if struck by a thunder" by Tatyana's words.
"But the spurs suddenly rang out,
And Tatyana's husband showed up,
And here is my hero
In a minute, evil for him,
Reader, we will now leave,
For a long time ... forever ... ".

I. A. Bunin story "The Gentleman from San Francisco"
Is it possible to gain experience without making mistakes? In childhood and adolescence, our parents protect us, advise us in problematic issues. This largely saves us from mistakes, helps to form character, to gain only useful experience in this life, although not everything always goes well. But we understand the real essence of life when we stand on the wing on our own. A more meaningful view of what is happening and a sense of responsibility make big changes in our lives. An adult person makes decisions independently, is responsible for himself, understands from his own experience what life is, seeks his own path through trial and error. To understand the true essence of the problem, one can only experience it for oneself, but it is not known what kind of test and difficulties this will bring, and how a person will be able to cope with it.
In Ivan Alekseevich Bunin's story "The Gentleman from San Francisco", the protagonist has no name. We understand that the author puts a deep meaning into his work. The image of a hero refers to people who make the mistake of postponing their lives for later. A gentleman from San Francisco devoted his whole life to work, he wanted to save enough money, become rich, and then start living. All the experience that the protagonist gained was related to his work. He did not pay attention to family, friends, himself. I can say that he did not pay attention to life, he did not enjoy it. Going on a trip with his family, a gentleman from San Francisco thought that his time was just beginning, but as it turned out, it ended there. His main mistake was that he put off his life for later, devoting himself only to work, and for many years he acquired nothing but wealth. The main character did not put his soul into his own child, did not give love and did not receive it himself. All he achieved was financial success, but he never knew the main thing in his lifetime.
The experience of the protagonist would be invaluable if others learned from his mistakes, but, unfortunately, this does not happen. Many people continue to put off their lives until later, which may never come. And the price for such an experience will be the one and only life.
A. I. Kuprin story "Garnet bracelet"
On the day of her name day, September 17, Vera Nikolaevna was expecting guests. The husband left in the morning on business and had to bring guests for dinner.
Vera Nikolaevna, whose love for her husband had long since degenerated into "a feeling of lasting, faithful, true friendship," supported him as best she could, saved money, and denied herself in many ways.
After dinner everyone except Vera sat down to play poker. She was about to go out onto the terrace when the maid called her. On the table in the office, where both women went, the servant laid out a small package tied with a ribbon, and explained that a messenger had brought it with a request to hand it over to Vera Nikolaevna personally.
Vera found a gold bracelet and a note in the bag. First, she began to examine the decoration. In the center of a low-grade gold bracelet stood out several magnificent garnets, each about the size of a pea. Examining the stones, the birthday girl turned the bracelet, and the stones flared up like "charming deep red living lights." With anxiety, Vera realized that these fires looked like blood.
He congratulated Vera on Angel Day, asked him not to be angry with him for daring to write letters to her a few years ago and expect an answer. He asked to accept as a gift a bracelet, the stones of which belonged to his great-grandmother. From her silver bracelet, he, exactly repeating the location, transferred the stones to the gold one and drew Vera's attention to the fact that no one had yet worn the bracelet. He wrote: “however, I believe that there is no treasure in the whole world worthy of decorating you” and admitted that all that is now left in him is “only reverence, eternal admiration and slavish devotion”, an every minute desire for happiness to the Faith and joy if she is happy.
Vera pondered whether to show the gift to her husband.
On the way to the crew waiting for the general, Anosov talked with Vera and Anna about the fact that he had not met true love in his life. According to him, “love should be a tragedy. The greatest secret in the world."
The general asked Vera about what was true in the story told by her husband. And she gladly shared with him: "some madman" pursued her with his love and sent letters even before marriage. The princess also told about the parcel with the letter. In thought, the general noted that it was quite possible that Vera's life was crossed by "a single, all-forgiving, ready for anything, modest and selfless" love that any woman dreams of.
Shein and Mirza-Bulat-Tuganovsky, Vera's husband and brother, paid a visit to her admirer. It turned out to be an official Zheltkov, a man of thirty or thirty-five.Nikolai immediately explained to him the reason for the arrival - with his gift, he crossed the line of patience of Vera's relatives. Zheltkov immediately agreed that he was to blame for the persecution of the princess. Zheltkov asked permission to write a last letter to Vera and promised that the visitors would never hear or see him again. At the request of Vera Nikolaevna, he "as soon as possible" stops "this story."
In the evening, the prince gave his wife the details of the visit to Zheltkov. She was not surprised by what she heard, but was slightly agitated: the princess felt that "this man will kill himself."
The next morning, Vera learned from the newspapers that the official Zheltkov committed suicide due to the waste of state money. All day Sheina thought about the "unknown person", whom she never got to see, not understanding why she foresaw the tragic denouement of his life. She also remembered the words of Anosov about true love, which may have met on her way.
The postman brought Zheltkov's farewell letter. He admitted that he regards love for Vera as a great happiness, that his whole life lies only in the princess. He asked for forgiveness for the fact that “an uncomfortable wedge crashed into Vera’s life”, thanked her simply for the fact that she lives in the world, and said goodbye forever. “I tested myself - this is not a disease, not a manic idea - this is love, which God was pleased to reward me for something. Leaving, I say in delight: “Hallowed be thy name,” he wrote.
After reading the message, Vera told her husband that she would like to go and see the man who loved her. The prince supported this decision.
Vera found an apartment that Zheltkov rented. The landlady came out to meet her, and they started talking. At the request of the princess, the woman told about the last days of Zheltkov, then Vera went into the room where he was lying. The expression on the face of the deceased was so peaceful, as if this man "before parting with life, learned some deep and sweet secret that resolved his whole human life."
At parting, the landlady told Vera that if a woman suddenly died and a woman came to say goodbye, Zheltkov asked me to tell her that the best work of Beethoven - he wrote down his name - “L. van Beethoven. Son. No. 2, op. 2. Largo Appassionato.
Vera wept, explaining her tears by the painful "impression of death."
Faith made a major mistake in her life, she missed sincere and strong love, which is very rare.
Reflection on the topic "Experience and mistakes" is always relevant - at any age, in any state with any mental orientation. However, any such reflection will certainly be carried out at its own level.
For example, for a small child, at his level, there is an understanding of legal or illegal things. If we consider a typical exemplary situation, we can draw certain conclusions. For example, a mother sends a four-year-old son to the garden to pick carrots, the son returns, but brings beets. She begins to say something reproachfully to him, the boy feels discomfort from the fact that “he did not bring what was asked for”, closes in on himself and understands with some sixth sense that he made a mistake, but he made it not because of his prank or harmfulness .
No matter how old a person is, he will equally treat his mistakes - whether he is four years old or forty years old, that is, with the same measure of responsibility. He will equally worry about his mistakes, and the more he makes mistakes, the faster the necessary experience will come to him in one or another area of his activity.
It may well happen that a person repeatedly makes the same mistakes in his life, as if stepping on the same rake, which, by the way, hits the head very painfully. This gives rise to a feeling of dissatisfaction with what you are doing, as well as lamentation: “Well, why did this happen to me again? Why couldn't I do otherwise, after all, I've done it a thousand times already? Etc." There are many reasons for this, one of which is a special character trait when a person is in a hurry to live and does everything quickly due to some circumstances. In other words, he wants the best, but it turns out the opposite. This is how the hero of V. Shukshin Chudik behaved approximately (“Why am I like this?”)
Experience, no matter how bitter and sad it is, brings new rounds to the development of the personality. Yes, there is a residue in the depths of the soul from the fact that you did something wrong or irrationally, but the next time a similar situation happens, you can already play it safe and prevent a similar mistake.
Therefore, I would like to advise: do not be afraid of your own mistakes, it is better to smile and live on ... until a new mistake.
Short essay Experience and mistakes
A person's age does not affect his formation in such categories as experience and mistakes. Nobody is immune from them. However, the degree of responsibility is different for everyone. In other words, someone takes it very close to heart, someone does not.
It happens that people repeatedly make the same mistakes, in the people it is called "stepping on the rake again." Hence, not just a residue of dissatisfaction with their activities, but also endless lamentation: “Well, why is this happening to me again? Etc." There are many reasons for this, one of which is a special character trait when a person is in a hurry to live. In other words, he wants the best, but it turns out the opposite. Hence the disappointment, resentment of fate.
Therefore, I would like to advise: do not be afraid of your mistakes, but also try to think before you do something.
Final essay No. 3 Experience and mistakes for grade 11
