“Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
When we make mistakes, we actually learn a lot from them because they help us understand things better. For example, if you touch a hot stove and get burned, you learn not to touch it again. The mistake teaches you the truth about what happens when you touch something hot. Similarly, if you're trying to figure out a puzzle and guess the wrong answer, now you know what the answer is not. This helps you get closer to finding the right answer. In life, every error helps us gain more knowledge and gets us one step closer to the truth. So, making mistakes is a valuable part of learning and growing.
