The first step 3 is acknowledging the mistake that you have made.Admit that you have done something wrong rather than blame everyone and everything but yourself for a setback. Of course, you don’t need to condemn yourself as a failure. Understanding your mistake is to clear your way to progress because you can learn some lessons from the mistake. Acknowledging your mistake is to reflect on how you made the mistake so as to make it more likely for you to correct yourself and succeed the next time.
Another way 3 to face your mistakes properly is to ask for advice from an expert who is wise, trustworthy, and willing to listen to your explanations of what you’ve tried so far. If you have all ears to the advice, you’ll gain many valuable insights.

句法點評
1. Understanding your mistake is to clear your way to progress because you can learn some lessons from the mistake.
本句是復雜句,包含了because引導的原因狀語從句。除此之外,本句還用到了動名詞,在句中作主語,使句式變化多樣。
2. Another way to face your mistakes properly is to ask for advice from an expert who is wise, trustworthy, and willing to listen to your explanations of what you’ve tried so far.
本句也是復雜句,包含了who引導的定語從句who is wise, trustworthy...so far,該定語從句中使用了what引導的賓語從句,作介詞of的賓語,使得句式結(jié)構(gòu)變化多樣,行文流暢。
