“Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time”

George Bernard Shaw

Simplified Meaning:

Making a mistake is not what makes you unsuccessful; it's learning from that mistake and not repeating it that counts. Imagine you touch a hot stove and burn your hand. It's a painful experience, but you learn that stoves can be hot and you should be careful. If you never touch a hot stove again, you've learned from your mistake. In life, everyone makes mistakes, but what matters is how you handle them afterward. Think about a student who fails a test because they didn't study enough. Next time, they study harder and do better on the test. They didn't let the initial failure stop them; instead, they learned and improved. This approach can be applied in all areas of life - work, relationships, or personal goals. By learning from our errors and striving not to repeat them, we push ourselves towards success.
