Should I be happy I won, or sad that my winning move was a mistake?

Undecided how I should feel about games like this: en.lichess.org/IID7SP5q/white#0

My tactics won the game from what was probably a drawn position, but only because my opponent (and I) missed the fairly obvious move that would have given him a potentially winning advantage.
I would be happy with the result, but why did your opponent resign at that position? He could have taken your knight with one of his pawns.

Regards
You should be happy that you were so fortunate that your opponent hadn't punished you for your mistake, but you should be angry at yourself for not seeing the mistake and try to avoid such a mistake next time.
anything in the long run its always best not to be results orientated
