Edward Tenner Quote

Edward Tenner said "Sometimes things can go right only by first going very wrong." I believe that this is somewhat true. There were times in my life that I really messed up the first time, but did a whole lot better the next time. I guess this is natural for most people, but I thinks it affects this quote somehow. For example, there was one time I tried skiing and I really messed up the first time like keep crashing into people, but the second time I tried it it went well. If I didn't try it the first time then I wouldn't have been able to do better the second time because I wouldn't have even tried it out. I guess this can be one example of this quote.
