How to write an introduction experience and mistakes. Human Experience

As the saying goes, "Man learns from his mistakes." This proverb is known to everyone. But there is also another well-known proverb - "The smart one learns from the mistakes of others, and the stupid one learns from his own." The writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have left us a rich cultural heritage. From their writings, from the mistakes and experiences of their heroes, we can learn important things which will help us in the future, having knowledge, not to commit unnecessary actions.
Each person strives in his life for happiness at the family hearth and all his life he is looking for his “soul mate”. But it often happens that feelings are deceptive, not mutual, not constant, and a person becomes unhappy. Writers, perfectly understanding the problem of unhappy love, wrote a large number of works that reveal different facets of love, true love. One of the writers who revealed this topic was Ivan Bunin. Storybook " Dark alleys”contains stories whose stories are vital and relevant for consideration by a modern person. I liked the story "Light Breath" the most. It reveals such a feeling as nascent love. At first glance, it may seem that Olya Meshcherskaya is an arrogant and proud girl who, at fifteen, wants to appear older and therefore goes to bed with her father's friend. The boss wants to reason with her, to prove to her that she is still a girl and should dress and behave accordingly.
But it's really not like that. Like Olya, who is loved junior classes maybe haughty and arrogant? Children cannot be deceived, they see the sincerity of Olya and her behavior. But what about the rumors that she is windy, that she is in love with a schoolboy and is changeable with him? But these are just rumors spread by girls who are jealous of Olya's grace and natural beauty. The behavior of the head of the gymnasium is similar. She lived a long, but gray life, in which there were no joys and happiness. Now she looks youthful, with silver hair, and loves to knit. She is contrasted with Olya's eventful and bright, joyful moments. Also the antithesis is natural beauty Meshcherskaya and the "youthfulness" of the boss. Because of this, a conflict flares up between them. The boss wants Olya to remove her "female" hairstyle and behave more worthily. But Olya feels that her life will be bright, that in her life there will definitely be happy, true love. She does not respond rudely to the boss, but behaves gracefully, in an aristocratic way. Olya does not notice this female envy and does not wish the boss anything bad.
The love of Olya Meshcherskaya was only in its infancy, but did not have time to open up due to her death. For myself, I learned the following lesson: it is necessary to develop love in yourself and show it in life, but be careful not to cross the line that will lead to sad consequences.

Another writer who revealed the theme of love is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. I would like to consider his work "The Cherry Orchard". Here I can divide all the characters into three categories: Ranevskaya, Lopakhin and Olya with Petya. Ranevskaya personifies in the play the noble aristocratic past of Russia: She can enjoy the beauty of the garden and not think about whether it benefits her or not. She has such qualities as mercy, nobility, sincere generosity, generosity and kindness. She still loves her chosen one, who betrayed her once. For her, the cherry orchard is a home, memory, connection with generations, memories from childhood. Ranevskaya does not care about the material side of life (she is wasteful and does not know how to conduct business and make decisions on pressing problems). Ranevskaya is characterized by sensitivity and spirituality. By her example, I can learn mercy and spiritual beauty.
Lopakhin, who personifies modern Russia in the work, has a love for money. He works in a bank and tries to find a source of profit in everything. He is practical, hardworking and energetic, achieves his goal. However, the love of money did not destroy him. human feelings: he is sincere, grateful, understanding. Him tender soul. For him, the garden is no longer cherry, but cherry, a source of profit, and not aesthetic pleasure, a means for obtaining material benefits, and not a symbol of memory and connection with generations. By his example, I can learn to develop before spiritual qualities, and not the love of money, which can easily ruin the human element in people.
Anya and Petya personify the future of Russia, which frightens the reader. They talk a lot, but they are not carried away by anything, they strive for an ephemeral future, radiant but barren, and wonderful life. They easily let go of what they do not need (in their opinion). They are not at all worried about the fate of the garden, or anything. They can be called with confidence Ivans, who do not remember kinship. By their example, I can learn to appreciate the monuments of the past and keep the connection of generations. I can also learn that if you're aiming for a brighter future, then you need to make an effort, and not engage in chatter.
As you can see, there are many useful life lessons and experiences that can be learned from the works of writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which in the future will insulate us from mistakes that can deprive us of joy and happiness in life.

Each of us makes mistakes and receives a life lesson, and often a person regrets and tries to correct what happened, but, alas, it is impossible to turn back the clock. To avoid in the future, you need to learn how to analyze them. In many works of world fiction, the classics touch this topic.
In the work of Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev “Fathers and Sons”, Yevgeny Bazarov is by nature a nihilist, a person with completely unusual views for people who denies all the values ​​of society. He refutes all the thoughts of the people around him, including his family and the Kirsanov family. Repeatedly, Yevgeny Bazarov also noted his beliefs, firmly believing in them and not taking into account anyone's words: “a decent chemist is twenty times more useful than any poet”, “nature is nothing ... Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man is a worker in it. This was the only way his life was built. But is it true what the hero thinks? This is his experience and mistakes. At the end of the work, everything that Bazarov so believed in, that he was strongly convinced of, all his life views, are refuted by them.
Another a prime example the hero from the story of Ivan Antonovich Bunin "The Gentleman from San Francisco" serves. In the center of the story is a gentleman from San Francisco, who decided to reward himself for his long work. At 58, the old man decided to start new life: "He hoped to enjoy the sun of southern Italy, the monuments of antiquity." All the time he spent only on work, pushing aside many important parts of life, leading the most valuable thing - money. It was a pleasure for him to drink chocolate, wine, take baths, read newspapers every day. So, he made a mistake and paid for it at the cost of his own life. As a result, equipped with wealth and gold, the gentleman dies in the hotel, in the worst, smallest and dampest room. The thirst to satiate and satisfy one's needs, in the desire to rest after the past years and start life anew, turn out to be a tragic end for the hero.
Thus, the authors, through their heroes, show us, future generations, experience and mistakes, and we, the readers, should be grateful for the wisdom and examples that the writer sets before us. After reading these works, you should pay attention to the outcome of the lives of the heroes and go along the right way. But, of course, the personal lessons of life have a much better effect on us. As the well-known proverb says: “Learn from mistakes”.
Mikheev Alexander

Part 1 - Osipov Timur
Composition on the topic “Experience and mistakes”
People make mistakes, that's our nature. Smart is not the one who does not make mistakes, but the one who learns from his mistakes. Mistakes are what help us move on, taking into account all past circumstances, each time developing more and more, accumulating more and more experience and knowledge.
Fortunately, many writers have touched on this topic in their works, deeply revealing it and passing on their experience to us. For example, let's turn to the story of I.A. Bunin "Antonov apples". “The cherished alleys of noble nests”, these words of Turgenev perfectly reflect the content this work. The author recreates the world of the Russian estate in his head. He mourns the past. Bunin so realistically and closely conveys his feelings through sounds and smells that this story can be called "fragrant". “The fragrant smell of straw, fallen leaves, mushroom dampness” and of course the smell Antonov apples, which become a symbol of Russian landowners. Everything was good in those days, contentment, homeliness, well-being. The estates were built reliably and forever, the landowners hunted in velvet trousers, people walked in clean white shirts, indestructible boots with horseshoes, even the old people were “tall, big, white as a harrier”. But all this fades with time, ruin comes, everything is no longer so beautiful. Only the subtle smell of Antonov apples remains from the old world ... Bunin is trying to convey to us that we need to maintain contact between times and generations, preserve the memory and culture of the old time, and also love our country as much as he does.

Part 2 - Timur Osipov
I would also like to touch upon the work of A.P. Chekhov “The Cherry Orchard”. It also tells about the landowner's life. Characters can be divided into 3 categories. The older generation is the Ranevskys. They are people of the outgoing noble era. They are characterized by mercy, generosity, subtlety of the soul, as well as extravagance, narrow-mindedness, inability and unwillingness to solve pressing problems. The attitude of the characters cherry orchard shows the problem of the whole work. For the Ranevskys, this is a legacy, the origins of childhood, beauty, happiness, a connection with the past. Next comes the generation of the present, which is represented by Lopakhin, a practical, enterprising, energetic and hard-working person. He sees the garden as a source of income, for him it is more cherry, not cherry. And finally, the last group, the generation of the future - Petya and Anya. They tend to strive for a bright future, but their dreams are mostly fruitless, words for words, about everything and nothing. For the Ranevskys, the garden is all of Russia, and for them all of Russia is a garden. This shows the very incorporeality of their dreams. Such are the differences between the three generations, and again, why are they so great? Why so many disagreements? Why does the cherry orchard have to die? His death is the destruction of the beauty and memory of the ancestors, the ruin of the native hearth, it is impossible to cut the roots of a still blooming and living garden, punishment will certainly follow.
We can conclude that mistakes should be avoided, because their consequences can be tragic. And after making mistakes, you need to use it to your advantage, learn from this experience for the future and pass it on to others.

For Lopakhin (present) The Cherry Orchard is a source of income. “... The only remarkable thing about this garden is that it is very large. Cherry is born every two years, and even that has nowhere to go. Nobody is buying... Yermolai looks at the garden from the point of view of enrichment. He busily offers Ranevskaya and Gaev to break the estate into summer cottages and cut down the garden.
Reading the work, we involuntarily ask ourselves questions: is it possible to save the garden? Who is to blame for the death of the garden? Is there no bright future? The author himself answers the first question: it is possible. The whole tragedy lies in the fact that the owners of the garden are not able, by the nature of their character, to save and continue the garden to bloom and smell fragrant. There is only one answer to the question of guilt: everyone is guilty.
…Is there no bright future……?
This question is already being asked by the author to readers, which is why I will answer this question. A bright future is always a lot of work. Is not beautiful speeches, not a representation of an ephemeral future, but this perseverance and decision serious problems. This is the ability to bear responsibility, the ability to respect the traditions and customs of the ancestors. The ability to fight for what is dear to you.
The play "The Cherry Orchard" shows the unforgivable mistakes of the heroes. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov gives us the opportunity to analyze so that we, young readers, have experience. This is a deplorable mistake for our heroes, but the appearance of understanding, experience among readers in order to save a fragile future.
The second work for analysis, I would like to take Valentin Grigorievich Rasputin "Women's Conversation". Why did I choose this particular story? Probably because in the future I will become a mother. I will have to grow from little man- Human.
Even now, looking at the world through children's eyes, I already understand what is good and what is bad. I see examples of parenting, or lack thereof. As a teenager, I have to set an example for the younger ones.
But what I wrote earlier is the influence of parents, family. This is the influence of education. The impact of observing traditions and, of course, respect. This is the work of my close people, which will not be in vain. Vika does not have the opportunity to know the love and significance for her parents. “In the village with her grandmother in the middle of winter, Vika was not of her own free will. I had to have an abortion at the age of sixteen. I contacted the company, and with the company at least to the devil on the horns. She dropped out of school, began to disappear from home, spun, spun ... while they missed, they snatched the already baited carousel out of the carousel, already shouting the guard.
“In the village, not of their own free will ...” it’s insulting, unpleasant. Shame on Vika. Sixteen years is still a child in need of parental attention. If there is no attention from parents, then the child will look for this very attention on the side. And no one will explain to a child whether it is good to become another link in a company in which there is only "to the devil on the horns." It is unpleasant to understand that Vika was exiled to her grandmother. “... and then my father harnessed his old Niva, and, until she came to her senses, to her grandmother for deportation, for re-education.” Problems committed not so much by the child as by the parents. They didn't see, they didn't explain! After all, it’s true, it’s easier to send Vika to her grandmother so that she is not ashamed of her child. Let all the responsibility for what happened rest on the strong shoulders of Natalia.
For me, the story “Women's Conversation” first of all shows what kind of parents you should never be. Shows all irresponsibility and carelessness. It is terrible that Rasputin, looking through the prism of time, described what is still happening. Many modern teenagers lead wild image life, although some are not even fourteen.
I hope that the experience learned from Vika's family will not become the basis for building her own life. I hope that she will become a loving mother, and then a sensitive grandmother.
And the last, final question I will ask myself: is there a connection between experience and mistakes?
"Experience is the son of difficult mistakes" (A. S. Pushkin) Do not be afraid to make mistakes, because they harden us. Analyzing them, we become smarter, morally stronger ... or, in other words, we acquire wisdom.

Maria Dorozhkina

Each person sets goals for himself. All our life we ​​try to achieve these goals. It can be difficult and people endure these difficulties in different ways, someone, if it doesn’t work out, immediately drops everything and gives up, and someone sets new goals for themselves and achieves them, taking into account their past mistakes and possibly the mistakes and experience of other people. It seems to me that in some part the meaning of life is the achievement of one's goals, that one cannot give up and one must go to the end, taking into account the mistakes of one's own and others. Experience and mistakes are present in many works, I will take two works, the first is Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.

I think that it is necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past in order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again. Experience is very important and at least "learn from mistakes." I don’t think it’s right to make mistakes that someone has already made, since you can avoid this and figure out how to do it so as not to commit the same thing that our ancestors did. Writers in their stories are trying to convey to us that experience is built on mistakes, and that we gain experience without making the same mistakes.

But the future generation does not at all inspire optimism in Chekhov. "Eternal student" Petya Trofimov. The hero has an inherent desire for a wonderful future, but everyone can learn to speak beautifully, but Trofimov is not able to back up his words with actions. He is not interested in the Cherry Orchard, and this is not the worst thing. More frightening is that he imposes his views on the still “clean” Anya. The attitude of the author to such a person is unambiguously - "klutz".

This extravagance and inability to accept, to solve the problem of the past generation led to the loss of the key to beauty and memories, and on the other hand, the obstinacy and perseverance of the present generation instilled in the loss of an amazing garden, in the departure of the entire noble era, because Lopakhin, in fact, cut down the root, then what this era was based on. The author warns us, because with the change of generation, the wonderful feeling of seeing beauty weakens, and then completely disappears. There is a degradation of the soul, people begin to appreciate material values, and less and less something elegant and beautiful, less and less the value of our ancestors, grandfathers and fathers.

Another wonderful work is “Antonov apples” by I.A. Bunin. The writer talks about the peasant, noble life and all possible ways fills his "scented story" different ways transfer of that atmosphere, those unique smells, sounds, colors. The narration comes from the perspective of Bunin himself. The author shows, reveals our Motherland in all its colors and manifestations.

The prosperity of the peasant society has been demonstrated to the reader in many aspects. The village of Vyselki is an excellent proof of this. Those old men and women who lived very long, white and tall as a harrier. That atmosphere of the native hearth that reigned in peasant houses, with a heated samovar and a black-fired stove. This is a demonstration of the contentment and wealth of the peasants. People appreciated and enjoyed life, the unique smells and sounds of nature. And to match the old people there were also houses built by grandfathers, brick, durable, for centuries. But what about that peasant who poured apples and who ate them so juicy, with a bang, famously, one after another, and then at night he will carelessly, gloriously lie on a cart, look at the starry sky, feel the unforgettable smell of tar in fresh air and, perhaps, with a smile on his face, he will fall asleep.

Rewritten introduction and conclusion.

Introduction: The book is an invaluable source of the wisdom of unique writers. Warning and warning us, the modern and future generation, through the mistakes of their heroes, was one of the main messages of their work. Mistakes are common to absolutely all people on earth. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone tries to analyze their mistakes and extract the “grain” from them, and in fact, thanks to this understanding of their own mistakes, the path to a happy life opens.

Conclusion: In conclusion, I would like to note that the modern generation needs to appreciate the creations of writers. By reading works, a thoughtful reader draws and accumulates the necessary experience, acquires wisdom, over time, the treasury of knowledge about life grows, and the reader must pass on the accumulated experience to others. The English scholar Coleridge calls such readers "diamonds" because they are actually very rare. But it is precisely thanks to this approach that society will learn from the mistakes of the past, and benefit from the mistakes of the past. People will make fewer mistakes, and more wise people will appear in society. And wisdom is the key to a happy life.

The life of the nobility differed significantly from the peasant, serfdom still felt, despite the cancellation. In the estate of Anna Gerasimovna, entering, first of all, various smells are heard. They are not felt, but heard, that is, they are recognized by sensation, an amazing quality. The smells of an old mahogany medal, dried lime blossom, which has been lying on the windows since June ... It's hard for the reader to believe this, a truly poetic nature is capable of this! The wealth and prosperity of the nobles is manifested at least in their dinner, an amazing dinner: all through pink boiled ham with peas, stuffed chicken, turkey, marinades and red, strong and sweet-sweet kvass. But there is a desolation of estate life, cozy noble nests are disintegrating, and such estates as Anna Gerasimovna's are becoming less and less.

But in the estate of Arseny Semenych, the situation is completely different. An insane scene: a greyhound climbs onto the table and begins to devour the remains of a hare, and suddenly the owner of the estate comes out of the office and fires a shot at his pet, playing with his eyes, with sparkling eyes, with excitement. And then in a silk shirt, velvet trousers and long boots, which is a direct proof of wealth and prosperity, he goes hunting. And hunting is the place where you give free rein to your emotions, you are seized by excitement, passion and you feel almost one with the horse. You come back all wet and trembling with tension, and on the way back you feel the smells of the forest: mushroom dampness, rotted leaves and wet wood. The scents are irresistible...

Bunin teaches us to love our Motherland, in this work he shows all the indescribable beauty of our Fatherland. And it is important for him that, through the prism of time, the memory of a bygone culture is not dispelled, but preserved, and it is still remembered for a long time. old world leaves irrevocably, and only the subtle smell of Antonov apples remains.

In conclusion, I would like to note that these works are not the only options for demonstrating that culture, that life of the past generation, there are other creations of writers. Generations change, and only memory remains. Through such stories, the reader learns to remember, honor and love his Motherland in all its manifestations. And the future is built on the mistakes of the past.

Why is it necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past? I think a lot of people are thinking about this issue. Every person makes mistakes, a person cannot live life without making a mistake. But we must learn to think about the mistake and not make it in later life. As they say in the common people: "You need to learn from mistakes." Everyone should learn from their own and others' mistakes.


In conclusion, I want to say that a person can feel very bad because of a mistake he made, he can think about committing suicide, but this is not an option. Each person is simply obliged to understand what he did wrong or someone did wrong, so that in the future he would not repeat these mistakes.

An essay on the topic “Why is it necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past?”
Why is it necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past? I think a lot of people are thinking about this issue. Every person makes mistakes, a person cannot live life without making a mistake. But we must learn to think about the mistake and not make it in later life. As they say in the common people: "You need to learn from mistakes." Everyone should learn from their own and others' mistakes. After all, if a person does not learn to think about all the mistakes made, then in the future he will, as they say, “step on a rake” and will constantly make them. But, because of mistakes, each person can lose everything, from the most important to the most unnecessary. You always need to think ahead, think about the consequences, but if a mistake is already made, you need to analyze it and never make it again.
For example, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov in his play "The Cherry Orchard" describes the image of the garden - a symbol of the outgoing noble life. The author tries to tell that the memory of the past generation is important. Ranevskaya Lyubov Andreevna tried to preserve the memory of the past generation, the memory of her family - the cherry orchard. And only when the garden was gone, she realized that with the cherry orchard all memories of the family, of her past, had gone.
Also, A.P. Chekhov describes the mistake in the story "The Man in the Case". This mistake is expressed in the fact that Belikov, the main character of the story, closes himself from society. He is like in a case, is an outcast of society. His closeness does not allow you to find happiness in life. And thus, the hero lives his lonely life, in which there is no happiness.
Another work that can be cited as an example is “Antonov apples” written by I.A. Bunin. The author describes all the beauty of nature on his own behalf: smells, sounds, colors. However, Olga Meshcherskaya makes a tragic mistake. A girl of fifteen was a frivolous, cloud-flying girl who did not think she was losing her innocence with her father's friend.
There is another novel in which the author describes the hero's mistake. But the hero understands in time and corrects his mistake. This is a novel by Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy "War and Peace". Andrei Bolkonsky makes the mistake of misunderstanding the values ​​of life. He dreams only of fame, thinks only of himself. But one fine moment, on the field of Austerlitz, his idol Napoleon Bonaparte becomes nothing for him. The voice is no longer great, but like a "buzz of a fly." This was a turning point in the life of the prince, he nevertheless realized the main values ​​​​in life. He realized the mistake.
In conclusion, I want to say that a person may feel very bad because of a mistake he has made, he may think about committing suicide, but this is not an option. Each person is simply obliged to understand what he did wrong or someone did wrong, so that in the future he would not repeat these mistakes. The world is built in such a way that no matter how much we want, no matter what we do, mistakes will always be made, you just need to come to terms with it. But there will be fewer of them if you think through actions in advance.

Seryozha, read carefully what he wrote: “Another work that can be cited as an example is “Antonov apples” written by I.A. Bunin. The author describes all the beauty of nature on his own behalf: smells, sounds, colors. However, he makes a tragic mistake Olga Meshcherskaya. A fifteen-year-old girl was a frivolous, cloud-flying girl who, I don’t think, loses her innocence with her father’s friend "- THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT (!) WORKS OF AND, BUNIN: "ANTONOVSK APPLES", WHERE IT IS ABOUT SMELLS, SOUNDS, AND " EASY BREATH" ABOUT OLIA MESHERSKAYA!!! Do you get it as one? There is no transition in the reasoning, and one gets the impression that the porridge is in the head. Why? Because the sentence begins with the linking word "however". VERY poor work. There is no complete conclusion, only weak outlines. The conclusion according to Chekhov - do not cut down the garden - this is the destruction of the memory of the ancestors, the beauty of the world. This will lead to internal devastation of a person. Here is the output. Bolkonsky's mistakes are an experience of rethinking oneself. And the opportunity to change. here is the output. etc. etc.... 3 ------

PART 1
Many say that the past should be forgotten and everything that happened should be left there: “they say that it was, it was” or “why remember” ... BUT! They are wrong! in previous centuries, centuries, a large number of different types of figures have made a huge contribution to the life and existence of the country. do you think they were wrong? Of course, they were wrong, but they learned from their own mistakes, changed something, undertook, and everything worked out for them. The question arises: since it was in the past, can we forget about it, or what to do with all this? NO! Thanks to various types of mistakes, actions in the past, now we have a present and a future. (Perhaps not the way we would like the present, but it exists, and it is exactly like this, because much is left behind. The so-called experience of past years.) We must remember and respect the traditions of past years, because this is our History.
Through the prism of time, most writers, and they seem to foresee that little will change over time: the problems of the past will remain similar to the present, in their works they try to teach the reader to think deeper, analyze the text and what is hidden under it. All this in order to avoid similar situations and gain life experience without passing it through own life. What are the errors concealed in several of the works I have read and analyzed?
The first work I would like to start with is a play by A.P. Chekhov "The Cherry Orchard". You can find enough different problems in it, but I will focus on two: a break in the connection between a generation and a person’s life path. The image of the cherry orchard symbolizes the noble era. It is impossible to cut the roots of a still blooming and beautiful garden, this will certainly be followed by retribution - for unconsciousness and betrayal of the ancestors. The garden is a tiny subject of memory of the life of the past generation. You might be thinking, “I found something to be upset about. This garden surrendered to you, ”and so on. And what would happen if instead of this garden they razed the city, the village to the ground?? According to the author, the felling of the cherry orchard means the collapse of the homeland of the nobles. For the protagonist of the play, Lyubov Andreevna Ranevskaya, this garden was not only a garden of beauty, but also memories: childhood, home, youth. Heroes such as Lyubov Andreevna have a pure and bright soul, generosity and mercy ... Andreevna's love was: and wealth, and family, and happy life, and the cherry orchard .. But in one moment she lost everything. The husband died, the son drowned, two daughters remained. She fell in love with a man with whom she is clearly unhappy, because knowing that he used her, she will return to him in France again: “And what is there to hide or be silent, I love him, that's clear. I love, I love ... This is a stone on my neck, I go to the bottom with it, but I love this stone and cannot live without it. Also, she carelessly squandered her entire fortune “she had nothing left, nothing ..” “yesterday there was a lot of money, and today there is very little. My poor Varya feeds everyone with milk soup out of economy, and I spend so senselessly ... "Her mistake was that she did not know how, and she had no desire to solve pressing problems, to stop spending, she did not know how to manage money, she did not know how to EARN them. The garden needs care, but there was no money for it, as a result of which, retribution came: the cherry orchard was sold and cut down. As you know, it is necessary to properly manage money, otherwise you can lose everything to the last penny.

"Why is it necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past?"

“A person learns from mistakes” - I think this proverb is familiar to everyone. But few of us have thought about how much content and how much life wisdom in this proverb? After all, this is indeed very true. Unfortunately, we are arranged in such a way that until we see everything ourselves, until we ourselves find ourselves in a difficult situation, we will almost never draw the right conclusions for ourselves. Therefore, when making a mistake, you need to draw conclusions for yourself, but you can’t be wrong in everything, so you need to pay attention to the mistakes of others and draw conclusions by following their mistakes. Experience and mistakes are present in many works, I will take two works, the first is Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.
The cherry orchard is a symbol noble Russia. The final scene, when the ax “sounds”, symbolizes the collapse of the noble nests, the departure of the Russian nobles. For Ranevskaya, the knock of an ax is like the finale of her whole life, since this garden was dear to her, it was her life. But also the cherry orchard is a wonderful creation of nature, which people should save, but they could not do it. Garden is an experience previous generations and Lopakhin destroyed it, for this he will be punished. The image of the cherry orchard involuntarily connects the past with the present.
Antonov apples is a work by Bunin, in which there is a similar story as in a work by Chekhov. Cherry orchard and the sound of an ax at Chekhov, and Antonov apples and the smell of apples at Bunin. With this work, the author wanted to tell us about the need to connect times and generations, to preserve the memory of a bygone culture. All the beauty of the work is replaced by greed and greed.
These two works are very close in content, but at the same time very different. And if in our life we ​​learn how to correctly use works, proverbs, folk wisdom. Then we will learn not only from our own, but also from other people's mistakes, but at the same time live with our own mind, and not rely on the minds of others, everything in our life will be better, and we will easily overcome all life's obstacles.

This is a rewritten essay.

ANASTASIA KALMUTSKA! PART 2.
If, as a rule, in works of art we often meet two conflicting generations, or the rupture of one into “two fronts,” then in this one the reader observes as many as three absolutely different generations. The representative of the first is Ranevskaya Lyubov Andreevna. She is a noblewoman of the already outgoing landlord era; by nature, she is incredibly kind, merciful, but no less noble, but very wasteful, a little stupid and completely frivolous in relation to pressing problems. She represents the past. The second is Lopakhin Ermolai Alekseevich. He is very active, energetic, hardworking and enterprising, but also understanding and sincere. He represents the present. And the third - Anya Ranevskaya and Pyotr Sergeevich Trofimov. These young people are dreamy, sincere, look to the future with optimism and hope and think about the affairs of the day, while ... they do absolutely nothing to achieve anything. They represent the future. A future that has no future.
Just as the ideals of these people are different, so is their attitude to the garden. For Ranevskaya, he, for all intents and purposes, is the same cherry orchard, a garden planted for the cherry, a beautiful tree that blooms unforgettably and beautifully, about which it is written above. For Trofimov, this garden is already cherry, that is, it is planted for cherries, berries, for their collection and, probably, further sale, a garden for money, a garden for material wealth. As for Anya and Petya... For them, the garden means nothing. They, especially eternal student, "can talk endlessly beautifully about the purpose of the garden, its fate, its meaning ... only now they don't care whether something will happen to the garden or not, they just want to leave here as soon as possible. After all, “all of Russia is our garden,” right? After all, you can just leave every time, as a new place gets tired or is on the verge of death, the fate of the garden is completely indifferent to the future ...
The garden is a memory, an experience of the past. The past cherishes them. The present is trying to use for the sake of money or, to be more precise, to destroy. But the future doesn't care.

ANASTASIA KALMUTSKA! PART 3
At the end, the cherry orchard is cut down. The sound of an ax is heard like thunder ... Thus, the reader concludes that memory is an irreplaceable wealth, that apple of an eye, without which a person, country, world is waiting for emptiness.
I would also like to consider "Antonov apples" by Ivan Alekseevich Bunin. This story is a story of images. Images of the motherland, Fatherland, peasant and landlord life, between which there was almost no difference, images of wealth, spiritual and material, images of love and nature. The story is filled with warm and vivid memories of the protagonist, the memory of a happy peasant life! But we know from history courses that for the most part the peasants did not live the most in the best way, but it is here, it is in the "Antonov apples" that I see the real Russia. Happy, rich, hard-working, cheerful, bright and juicy, like a fresh, beautiful yellow bulk apple. Only now ... the story ends on very sad notes and the dreary song of local men ... After all, these images are just a memory, and it is far from a fact that the present is just as sincere, pure and bright. But what could happen to the present?.. Why is life not as joyful as it was before?.. This story at the end carries understatement and some sadness for the already departed. But it's very important to remember this. It is very important to know and believe that not only the past can be beautiful, but that we ourselves can change the present for the better.
So, we come to the conclusion that it is necessary and important to remember the past, to remember the mistakes made, so as not to repeat them in the future and present. Except… can people really learn from their mistakes? Yes, it is necessary, but are people really capable of it? This is the question I asked myself after reading the classic literature. Why? Because the works written in the XIX-XX centuries reflect the problems of that time: immorality, greed, stupidity, selfishness, depreciation of love, laziness and many other vices, but the bottom line is that after a hundred, two hundred or three hundred years ... nothing has changed. All the same problems are facing society, all the same sins people succumb to, everything has remained at the same level.
So, is humanity really capable of learning from its mistakes?..

An essay about
"Why is it necessary to analyze the mistakes of the past?"

I would like to start my essay with a quote from Lawrence Peter: “To avoid mistakes, you need to gain experience, to gain experience, you need to make mistakes.” You can't live life without making mistakes. Each person lives life in their own way. All people different tempers, a certain upbringing, different education, different conditions life and sometimes what one thinks big mistake, for others it is quite normal. That is why everyone learns from their own mistakes. It’s bad when you do something without thinking, relying only on the feelings that overwhelm you in this moment. In such situations, you often make mistakes that you will later regret.
Of course, one must listen to the advice of adults, read books, analyze the actions of literary heroes, draw conclusions and try to learn from the mistakes of others, but alas, they learn most convincingly and most painfully from their own mistakes. It's good if you can fix something, but sometimes our actions lead to serious, irreversible consequences. Whatever happens to me, I try to comprehend, weigh all the pros and cons, and then only make decisions. There is a saying, "The one who does nothing makes no mistakes." I do not agree with this, because idleness is already a mistake. In confirmation of my words, I want to turn to the work of A.P. Chekhov "The Cherry Orchard". Ranevskaya's behavior seems strange to me: what is so dear to her is dying. “I love this house, I don’t understand my life without a cherry orchard, and if you really need to sell it, then sell me along with the garden ...” But instead of doing something to save the estate, she indulges in sentimental memories, drinks coffee , distributes the last money to crooks, cries, but does not want to and cannot do anything.
The second work to which I want to refer is the story of I.A. Bunin "Antonov apples". After reading it, I felt how the author is sad about the old days. He really liked to visit the village in the autumn. With what delight he describes everything that he sees around him. The author notices the beauty of the surrounding world, and we, the readers, learn by his example to appreciate and protect nature, to cherish the simple human interaction.
What conclusion can be drawn from the above. We all make mistakes in life. A thinking person, as a rule, learns not to repeat his mistakes, and a fool will step on the same rake over and over again. As we go through life's trials, we become smarter, more experienced, and grow as individuals.

conclusion
Through the prism of time, most writers through their works try to teach the reader to avoid similar situations and gain life experience without passing it through their own lives. Writers seem to foresee that little will change over time: the problems of the past will remain similar to the present. We learn not only from our own mistakes, but also from the mistakes of other people, of another generation. It is necessary to analyze the past in order not to forget one's homeland, the memory of a passing culture, and to avoid generational conflicts. It is necessary to analyze the past in order to follow the right path in life, trying not to step on the same rake.

Many successful people once made mistakes, and it seems to me that if it were not for these very mistakes, then they would not be successful. As said Steve Jobs“There is no such thing as successful person who never stumbled or made a mistake. There are only successful people who made mistakes but then changed their plans based on those very mistakes.” Each of us made mistakes, and received a life lesson, from which each one learned life experience for himself, by analyzing the mistakes made.
Many writers who touched on this topic, fortunately, deeply revealed it and tried to convey their life experience to us. For example, in the play by A.P. Chekhov "The Cherry Orchard", the author is trying to convey to the current generation that we are obliged to preserve the monuments of the past. After all, they reflect the history of our state, people and generation. By preserving historical monuments, we show our love for our Motherland. They help us keep in touch with our ancestors through time.
main character plays Ranevskaya, tried with all her might to save the cherry orchard. For her, he was more than just a garden, first of all it was a memory of her family nest, the memory of her family. The main mistake of the heroes of this work is the destruction of the garden. After reading this play, I realized how important memory is.
I.A. Bunin "Antonov apples". “The cherished alleys of noble nests”, these words of Turgenev perfectly reflect the content of this work. The author recreates the world of the Russian estate. He mourns the past. Bunin so realistically and closely conveys his feelings through sounds and smells. “The fragrant smell of straw, fallen leaves, mushroom dampness.” and of course the smell of Antonov apples, which become a symbol of Russian landowners. Everything was good: contentment, homeliness, well-being. The estates were built reliably, the landowners hunted in velvet trousers, people walked in clean white shirts, even the old people were “tall, big, white as a harrier”. But all this eventually disappears, ruin comes, everything is no longer so beautiful. Only the subtle smell of Antonov apples remains from the old world ... Bunin is trying to convey to us that we need to maintain contact between times and generations, preserve the memory and culture of the old time, and also love our country as much as he does.
Every person, passing through life, makes certain mistakes. It is human nature to err as soon as due to miscalculations and blunders, he gains experience and becomes wiser.
So in the work of B. Vasiliev "The dawns here are quiet." Far from the front line, Sergeant Major Vaskov and five girls distract the German troops until help arrives to save an important transport artery. They do their job with honor. But having no military experience, they all die. The death of each of the girls is perceived as an irreparable mistake! Sergeant Major Vaskov, fighting, gaining military and life experience, understands what a monstrous injustice it is, the death of girls: “Why is this so? After all, they don’t need to die, but give birth to children, because they are mothers! And every detail in the story, starting with wonderful landscapes, descriptions of the crossing, forests, roads, suggests that lessons must be learned from this experience so that the victims are not in vain. These five girls, and their foreman, stand as an invisible monument, standing in the middle of the Russian land, as if poured out of thousands similar fates, deeds, pain and strength of the Russian people, reminiscent of the fact that unleashing a war is a tragic mistake, and the experience of the defenders is priceless.
The protagonist of A. Bunin's story, "the gentleman from San Francisco," worked all his life, saved money, and increased his fortune. And so he achieved what he dreamed of, and decided to rest. “Until this time, he did not live, but only existed, though not badly, but still placing all his hopes on the future.” But it turned out that his life had already been lived, that he had only a few minutes left. The gentleman thought that he was just beginning his life, but it turned out that he had already finished it. The gentleman himself, having died in the hotel, of course, did not understand that his whole path was false, that his goals were erroneous. And the whole world around him is false. There is no true respect for others, no close relationship with his wife and daughter - all this is a myth, the result of the fact that he has money. But now he is already floating below, in a tarred soda box, in the hold, and above everyone is also having fun. The author wants to show that such a path awaits everyone if he does not realize his mistakes, does not understand that he serves money and wealth.
Thus, life without mistakes is impossible, the more we realize our mistakes and try to correct them, the more wisdom and life experience we accumulate.
