Life is an iterative process. We will solve problems until the day we die. Solving problems improves our ability to solve other problems.
Without experiments, how do you know what is right/wrong or good/bad?
- Mistakes teach us wisdom and the ability to comprehend the complexities of problems.
- Mistakes teach a person to wake up and put one foot in front of the other.
- Mistakes lead to the creation of better things.
- Mistakes are an unavoidable part of the learning process.
All of those self-help books are based on someone’s experiences with learning from their mistakes.
If something productive must come from a worthwhile learning experience, it is nothing more than a mistake made at each stage of life.
