Helps keeping the mindset that you lost nothing, you just didn't gain.
The difference isn't semantic only, because you didn't actually lose anything. Imagine if you had lost $84,000? You certainly wouldn't be posting about it as lightly as you do here ;-)
actually you right..
that's the way I think! thanks!
great comment!
Also, this outlook makes you look more positively on things. The opportunity to be both correct and happier? Damn, if only life provided more of these :D
True think of it like a lesson and do not repeat the same mistake
I have made around 5 mistakes like this
Is it actually a mistake? Mistakes are not decided by how things turn out, but by what information was available to you when you made the decision. If the decision was rational for the time, then it was not a mistake, but a case of bad luck.
Deciding whether an action was correct or not based on results alone, not what the expected results were, that's a mistake.
