"The way we learn is by making mistakes."

A thought by John C. Maxwell (2013-10-08) from his book, Sometimes You Win--Sometimes You Learn: Life's Greatest Lessons Are Gained fromOur Losses (p. 136). Center Street. Kindle Edition.

When I got my tests back from the professor when I was in college I would see what I got wrong and then look those up and find the right answer.  I never looked up what I got right so by looking up what I got wrong I reinforced those and remembered those answers.  I remembered the right answers of the mistakes better than what I got right the first time.

And life is like that.  I learn from my mistakes.  Mistakes can be your friend so don’t be afraid of making them.  Now of course the key is to not make the same mistake over and over.  But keep trying until you find the right way to do it. That's how you grow

Mistakes mean at least you are trying. 

So what did you learn from your last mistake?
