About this Quote

Igor Stravinsky's quote speaks to the concept that true learning and development comes from making mistakes and learning from them. He suggests that understanding and knowledge can be gained from our own experiences, rather than from external sources. This is an important lesson for anybody aiming to grow and develop, as it emphasizes the significance of self-reflection and gaining from our own mistakes. Stravinsky's quote likewise speaks to the concept that understanding and wisdom can be gotten from our own experiences, rather than from external sources. This is a crucial pointer that we ought to not rely entirely on external sources for our knowing, but rather make the effort to reflect on our own experiences and gain from them. By doing this, we can get a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
