"Un échec n'est pas toujours une erreur; il peut simplement être le mieux que l'on puisse faire dans les circonstances La vraie erreur est d'arrêter d'essayer"
— B. F. Skinner
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when things don't go as planned, it doesn't mean we've made a mistake. It might just mean that we did our best given the situation. Think about a student who studies really hard for a big test but still gets a low grade. They didn't make a mistake by studying; the circumstances, like stress or tough questions, were just too much this time. The real problem comes if that student gives up and stops trying to do better in school. To succeed, we must keep working hard and not let setbacks stop us from continuing to make an effort. So, it's important to understand that doing your best is always valuable, and persistence is key to improvement.
