"Un homme de génie ne fait pas d'erreurs ses erreurs sont volontaires et sont les portes de la découverte"
— James Joyce

Simplified Meaning:
When someone very talented or smart makes what looks like a mistake, they often do it on purpose and learn something new from it. Think about Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb. He tried many times before he got it right, but each time he "failed," he learned something that helped him succeed in the end. Instead of seeing errors as bad, he used them to discover better ways to do things. This idea suggests that mistakes are actually valuable because they lead to important discoveries and personal growth. So, if we make thoughtful mistakes and learn from them, we can turn errors into opportunities and find new solutions or ideas.
