Scholarly Advice for Life



 

What advice would you give to someone who keeps making the same mistake over and over again?  Our class took a minute to think about it and here are some of our thoughts.

"If someone kept making a mistake over and over again, I would give them the advice to try harder and remember that you keep making that mistake and to remind themselves that if they keep making that mistake they will get a consequence." ~ Aydan

"I would say, find a mnemonic device to help remember not to make the same mistake." ~ Jillian
"To keep trying and someday you will get it.  And, if not try a different way. If that does not work... just give up." ~ Melanie

"The advice I would give is don't give up just keep trying. Also, try slowing down a bit and go through it step by step.  Ask for help from someone if you're confused. But do not give up." ~ Jasmine



"I would advice them to put a band or something on them to remind them to not make that same mistake.  Or maybe someone can help you remember to not make that mistake.  Also, someone could give you a punishment for doing it again." ~ Mckayla

"My advice to the person who makes the same mistake over and over again is that they should really try their best to stop.  If they keep on making the same mistake, you get into more trouble and that won't help you at all." ~ Meron

"I would tell the person that they need to get it together and to make the right decision." ~ Cody

"To stop doing it or else." ~ Abdinajib
