We, people, are such beings that we don't accept to learn something from other people's mistakes, but to make our own mistakes, experience failures and come out of them stronger, richer for new experience and that we can confirm "We learn from mistakes"🙂
It's nice when you live and work in jobs and environments that forgive failure and error and where you can get a chance to "fix it."
I remember when I was young doing painting jobs. When I was given an assignment to paint something, the boss would tell me "Don't be afraid if you make a mistake, it's easy to repaint".
"But boss, it costs money".
"Everything that money can buy is not expensive".
When we work in this kind of conditions, we can get promoted really quickly and very easily. However, if we work and live in a place where we lose our job or our head because of a mistake or failure, such an environment chokes off all the extra, compressed oxygen we put into "our engine", and we quickly lose will and desire.
That's why, in environments that allow it, we should try our best to improve the quality of our life.
Like when additional oxygen is added to the engine of a racing car, to obtain greater acceleration, in some period of life, we need to run a sprint, we need to acquire new knowledge, which will ensure progress on the professional level, and therefore progress and improvement in life.
I prepared something like that for myself when I was already employed, by acquiring additional knowledge and qualifications, with which I improved my position in the company, which led to an improvement in the quality of life.
A better and more equipped apartment, a better car, more socializing, more trips.
I like what you say here and especially:
I agree but, of course, so many people prefer laziness and seem happy with mediocrity in their life.
I'm also lazy sometimes, but I don't consider it a flaw, but a reward for some effort and success I've made 🙂
