Mistakes can be good if we learn from them!
Sometimes we have to make a mistake to find out the best way to do something.
Try not to get too stressed when you make a mistake, because mistakes are a natural part of life.
The important part is that you learn from the mistake, remember the correct way, and use your best efforts to do things the right way next time.
