“Sometimes the best way to learn something is by doing it wrong and looking at what you did.”

Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:

When you make a mistake while trying something new, you actually have a great chance to learn and improve. Think about when you first learned to ride a bike. You probably fell a few times before figuring out how to balance. Each fall helped you understand what to avoid and how to do better next time. By focusing on what went wrong, you get a clear idea of where you need to improve. In life, this idea can help you become better at many skills. For example, if you cook a meal and it doesn't turn out the way you wanted, you can learn from that. You might realize you need to cook it at a different temperature or for a different time. By recognizing these missteps, you get closer to getting it right. So, don't be afraid to make mistakes. They are part of the learning process and can guide you towards doing things correctly in the future. Embrace the errors because they teach you valuable lessons.
