“A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong which is but saying in other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday”
— Alexander Pope

Simplified Meaning:
Admitting that you've made a mistake shows that you've learned and grown from that experience. Think about it like this: imagine yesterday you tried to cook a new recipe and it didn’t turn out well because you missed an important step. Instead of pretending that everything was fine, you admit that you missed the step. Now, you know what to do differently next time to make the dish perfect. This means you’ve gained wisdom and improved from your experience. Embracing your errors means you're always learning and getting better, rather than staying stuck in the same place.
