“A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether,”—Roy H. Williams.
The smartest thing to do is not just to learn from your mistakes, but to never repeat it again. Perhaps, you might want to add this as well—make something meaningful out of your mistakes because that is the only way to look back at those mistakes with a broad smile.
When you do this, then you are a winner, a champion, a leader. Life will forever be grateful that your footprints were left on its soil.
So learn from those mistakes, no matter how little they are.
