"إن التقدم الحقيقي الوحيد يكمن في تعلم أن تكون مخطئًا بمفردك"
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
Learning to be wrong on your own is true progress because it means that you’re taking responsibility for your mistakes without blaming others. Imagine a student who realizes they failed a test not because the teacher was unfair, but because they didn’t study enough. This realization helps them grow and do better next time by changing their study habits. Just like that student, when you understand your own faults without needing others to point them out, you can improve yourself more effectively. It’s about being honest with yourself and using those insights to become better. Accepting your own errors teaches you more than always thinking you’re right or looking for someone else to blame.
