It's not true that we learn from our mistakes. We actually learn from our successes. It's success we want. Failures teach us only what NOT to do, not WHAT to do.
Bad days taught me more than the good days. If you tell me it was different with yourself, I would not believe.

That's why teaching dogs and children is best done with rewards, not punishment. You won't see drug sniffer dogs, guide dogs and successful children succeed because of beatings when they go wrong. What gets rewarded gets done.

The most glorious successes come from focus on creating the reality of success in a mind, then causing it.

It's my great successes that I love. My failures have been large, and tragic. I did not learn success from them. I learned some failure modes to avoid.

Creating the mechanism of success is the name of the game. We try to avoid failures on the way, but we are deeply ignorant so will be blunderers at times. Or just suffer bad luck. Or malevolence by others.
