"Les erreurs sont après tout les fondations de la vérité et si un homme ne sait pas ce qu'est une chose c'est au moins une augmentation de la connaissance s'il sait ce qu'elle n'est pas"
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
When we make mistakes, we learn important lessons that help us understand the truth better. For example, if someone is learning to cook and burns their meal, they learn how not to cook it next time. This new understanding helps them improve. Even if we don’t find out exactly how to do something right away, discovering what doesn’t work is still valuable. It’s like figuring out that a plant doesn’t need as much water because it wilts when overwatered. By knowing this, they can adjust their actions and get closer to the right solution. So, making errors is a crucial part of gaining real knowledge and becoming wiser over time.
