“Mistakes are the portals of discovery”
— James Joyce

Simplified Meaning:
People learn and discover new things by making mistakes. When someone makes an error, it often shows them a new way to solve a problem or a different path to take. Imagine a scientist trying to create a new medicine; if the first attempt fails, they learn what doesn't work and get closer to finding the successful formula. In everyday life, if you tell a joke and nobody laughs, you learn that maybe that joke isn't funny, so next time you tell a different one that might get more laughs. Mistakes help people understand what to do differently, make better choices, and find new opportunities. Instead of fearing errors, people should see them as a natural part of learning and growing.
