I noticed that when it came time to improvise, my students would often make mistakes.
Mistakes show us what we need to learn.
We can't simply blame the engineers when things go wrong because, no matter how well they plan, things don't always go according to plan.
There are no mistakes, save one: the failure to learn from a mistake.
Coming up with a way to fix mistakes challenges your creativity and your critical thinking skills and your resourcefulness. Often you end up with something better than what you planned on in the first place.

We are built to make mistakes, coded for error.
Error is discipline through which we advance.
