Learning the hard way

Are mistakes the best teachers, ensuring you remember your lessons fully and deeply?

Or

Is this a positive spin only? And that you could learn things equally well without failures?

I am thinking of how this applies to my life. And I realise I hardly ever learn something without making mistakes first. Feeling a bit weak saying this but its how it is. For me - learning the hard way has been the only way. Its not a spin I am putting on. I think not. Its being honest about myself. I remain in awe of those who learn without stumbling and falling.

I guess, the journey is different for us all.

Some people make mistakes and keep repeating them.

Some people go through hard times and don't recover fully from them, while others use them as fuel to create a better life 💜💖

I think it's both in my opinion. Some lessons are meant to be learned in hard ways and some can be learned without the hardships. I wish the world only had the latter but unfortunately the world does not work that way.
