Simplified Meaning:

This quote is suggesting that a calm person doesn't get stressed when they repeat a mistake. Imagine you're learning to ride a bike and you fall off. The first time it happens, you might feel embarrassed or upset. But if you fall off again, a calm person wouldn't get too worried. They'd simply get back on and keep trying, without nervousness. In real life, think about a chef who's learning a new recipe. If they burn the dish the first time, they might feel bad. But if they burn it again, they stay cool and just try to figure out what went wrong. This attitude helps them learn faster because they aren't wasting energy on feeling nervous. You can use this idea in your own life by staying calm when you make mistakes. Instead of getting anxious, understand that making mistakes is part of learning. If you stay relaxed, you'll be better at solving problems and improving over time.
