Learning from Mistakes

“Anything you experience is so much more vivid than if you’re just told about it.”
— Daniel Kahneman

“Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” ― Otto von Bismarck

The first we can perhaps best do by reading widely and incisively. The second is a bit trickier. Perhaps there is role of mindfulness or similar practices to identify our harmful habits and stop making same mistakes over and over again. Systems first, goals later.
