An incorrect action or wrong decision.

Explanation

A mistake is something done wrong or incorrectly, often by accident, or a wrong decision. Everyone makes mistakes while learning, working, or trying new things. For example, a student can make spelling mistakes while learning a language. Mistakes can feel uncomfortable, but that is okay because they help you learn and improve. You can learn from past mistakes and do better today. You will still make countless mistakes, but take them as opportunities to improve and grow. A mistake does not mean failure; it simply shows that something needs correction or more practice.
