In science, common sense is regarded as trial and error, implying that we learn and evolve by making mistakes. However, the brain does not record any change until it perceives some kind of success. A strategy is to transform each experience into a positive reflection, in order to learn from that experience and not repeatedly make the same mistake.
" ‘Try and Try Again’ dismisses the concept of trial and error. Modern research of the brain shows that we learn from success and not from mistakes."
