Simplified Meaning:

When someone makes a mistake but doesn’t learn from it or use it to improve, they are considered unsuccessful. For example, imagine someone trying to start a business. If they make mistakes, like choosing a bad location or not advertising enough, but don't change their strategy or learn for the next time, they won't succeed. Successful people take their missteps and figure out what went wrong, then use that knowledge to do better in the future. This teaches us that everyone makes mistakes, but we should think of them as lessons. By understanding our errors and making better choices next time, we can turn failures into opportunities for success.
