“Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.”
— Will Rogers
Simplified Meaning:
We learn to make smart choices by first making mistakes and learning from them. When you try something and it doesn't work out, you figure out what went wrong and you're better prepared next time. Imagine a child learning to ride a bike without training wheels. At first, they may fall a few times. Each fall teaches them something new about balance and control. Over time, these falls help them become a better rider. In life, it's similar. If you make a bad decision, like trusting the wrong person, you learn to be more careful about who you trust in the future. These experiences teach you to recognize warning signs and make better choices. Understanding that mistakes are part of learning can help you take risks and grow smarter from your experiences. Instead of being afraid of making errors, know that they are stepping stones to becoming wiser.
