It is my belief that we learn more from mistakes than from successful actions. I know most people will probably give the same answer, but that makes sense. One learns more from their mistakes than their success because they remember them more.
If I fail at something, oftentimes, I will remember it better than if I succeeded at it on the first try. I remember many of my failures more than I do my successes. I think we learn more from mistakes because we can build on our mistakes, and eventually we will build up to successes. Most of the time, we also have more mistakes than we do successes, which means that, in terms of overall quantity of knowledge gained, mistakes will provide a greater amount of knowledge than successes. That being said, you still learn a great deal from succeeding. Let me give a personal example. I was 3D designing a part for my uncle. It was a fairly complicated part, and I had never made anything like it before. I printed at least fifteen iterations before I arrived at the final product. Over all those mistakes, I learned a lot about 3D modeling. If I had nailed it on my first try, I should not have learned as much as I did during the process. You should also never be ashamed to admit that you have made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
We all make mistakes, and we learn a lot from them. I would say that we learn more from making mistakes than we do from succeeding. We make more mistakes than we do successes most of the time, therefore we are learning more. Sometimes, it’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey.
