It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile. ~Garry Marshall
All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes. ~Winston Churchill
It really is easy to gain wisdom. Since we all make mistakes, if we learn something valuable from that experience, we have gained wisdom!
One of the great things about being willing to try new things and make mistakes is that making mistakes keeps you humble. People who are humble learn more than people who are arrogant. ~Robert Kiyosaki
The inventor Thomas Edison famously viewed attempts that didn't work as learning experiences. His persistence and willingness to learn from each less-than-perfect experiment led eventually to success!
I never view mistakes as failures. They are simply opportunities to find out what doesn't work. ~Thomas A. Edison
At the beginning of a new school year, the papers and the tests haven't been written yet, and there are so many possibilities. Of course, every student should want to do their best and earn high grades, but it's inevitable that there will be mistakes on those assignments from time to time. Do your best, and be willing to learn from what went wrong.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. ~Neil Gaiman
Sometimes we learn on our own when we got something wrong. Sometimes we need help understanding what the mistake was and how we can do better. And often, the learning begins when we accept correction from someone with more experience who guides us.
If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself;
but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.
~Proverbs 15:32~
I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones. ~John Peel

Quoting reminds me there are other people in the world besides only me.
And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
