Simplified meaning
Learning from our own mistakes is useful, but it's even better to learn from what others did wrong. Imagine your friend touches a hot stove and gets burned. Instead of touching it yourself and getting hurt, you watch what happened to them and know not to do the same thing. By observing their mistake, you avoid pain and trouble. In life, this idea works in school, at work, or in relationships. If a classmate fails a test because they didn’t study, you realize you need to study hard to pass. Paying attention to other people’s errors saves you from making those errors yourself.
