“We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.”
– Samuel Smiles, Motivational Writer
「我们从失败学得的智慧比成功还多许多，我们常常藉由发现什么不该做，而发现什么该做，很可能从未犯错的人也从未有新的发现。」– 山姆尔‧史迈尔斯(励志作家)
