I can relate to most if not all that has been written. Some good insight and nothing like learning from one's mistakes (your own or others).
The one thing that comes to mind as my "biggest mistake" is over-reacting to things. Get a parameter swing and rapidly trying to correct it. I think the response is sometimes worse than the event.
Along those lines is not accounting for testing errors (and reacting to erroneous information). I've learned to test and re-test. If things read off, but things look healthy, it seems out of line with the normative data, and nothing I know of has changed, I will usually wait before responding.
