Explanation

  • Sharebar

If we attempt a new task and do it right first time, our knowledge, skills and understanding are not increased. If, however, we make a mistake and look carefully at that error and think about how it went wrong, our understanding of the task is improved. The mistake and our consideration of it have taught us something. But, of course, we only learn if we allow the mistake to teach us.
