Mutual Mistake of fact is when both parties of a contract make an assumption of fact when contract is formed and signed. The mistake must significantly change what you have to do under the contract, almost to the point where it’s an entirely different agreement. Although, if you knew there was a strong chance or probability of mistake at the time the contract was signed, you may have assumed the risk of that mistake. You therefore cannot use the mutual mistake defense. Not all cases of Mutual Mistake are strong enough to void a contract.…

I began to wipe the tears from my cheeks and I realized that my mindset was fixed on failure. I convinced myself that anything that I set out to do was going to end in failure. I have to stop letting the fear of failure rule my life. It’s up to me to change what I don’t like about my life, no one can do it for me. I have control over my life. So, I decided at that moment I was going to make a change. I’m going back to school to finish what I started, no matter how long it takes. I have to accept that failure is a part of life; I have to be willing to fail to learn how to succeed.…

We learn from our mistakes all the time, sometimes we regret them other ties we don’t. One time I had the chance to have the world in my hands, but I ended up in a hole I couldn’t get out of. I had all the resources right there but never took it seriously. In school I wasn’t always the best top 4.0 student, but I maintained good grades. However, high school came I took everything for granted. I always had the impression of “It’s going to be easy” or you can make it later in the run.” You can’t have second chances for everything. At the end of the day it is all me and I have to be the one going through college.…
One of Edmund Burke’s most famous quotes is: “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little”. Throughout history, this quote has applied to numerous events. People have refused to take action because they believe that their single contributions would have no impact. Due to this belief, tragedies have occurred that could have been prevented. Take for instance; the Civil Rights Movement, Jonathan Swift’s “Modest Proposal”, and the Civil War. Had people taken action, the impact of events could have been more beneficial to everyone.…
When people transitioned from hunter-gatherers to agriculturist, life became to change. Some people believe that transitioning from hunter-gatherers to agriculturists was one of the best decisions the human race has made. Jared Diamond the author of “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race” believes that life changed for the worst. Diamond also believes we never recovered from the agriculturist mistake.…
There are parts in life where you learn a lesson sometimes the easy way or the worst way. See as in me sadly enough, I end up learning the rough way look see I was always a troublemaker in school even when I was in preschool.

It is a curiosity of modern life that we find ourselves being lectured on morality by cold-blooded killers.…
No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty; there are always errors in any measurement. This means that if we measure some quantity and, then, repeat the measurement, we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. How, then, can we know the “true” value of a physical quantity? The short answer is that we can’t. However, as we take greater care in our measurements and apply ever more refined experimental methods, we can reduce the errors and, thereby, gain greater confidence that our measurements approximate ever more closely the true value. “Error analysis” is the study of uncertainties in physical measurements, and a complete description of error analysis would require much more time and space than we have in this course. However, by taking the time to learn some basic principles of error analysis, we can: 1) Understand how to measure experimental error, 2) Understand the types and sources of experimental errors, 3) Clearly and correctly report measurements and the uncertainties in those measurements, and 4) Design experimental methods and techniques and improve our measurement skills to reduce experimental errors. Two excellent references on error analysis are: • • John R. Taylor, An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements, 2d Edition, University Science Books, 1997 Philip R. Bevington and D. Keith Robinson, Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences, 2d Edition, WCB/McGraw-Hill, 1992…
The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?…
