“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:
In life, making mistakes helps us learn and grow. When we get something wrong, we understand better what the right way might be. For example, if someone is trying to learn how to bake a cake and they accidentally add too much salt, they learn that too much salt ruins the cake. Next time, they will know to be more careful with the salt. Knowing what doesn't work moves us one step closer to finding what does work. This approach is useful in all aspects of life, from school to work to relationships. It reminds us that getting something wrong is actually part of the learning process and helps us discover the truth.
