Flying with mistakes

We all make mistakes. Some of us make more than others. Some pretend that they don't make them. Some of us make the same one more than twice. I have a rule. I try not to make the same mistake more than five times. I have come close, but somehow someway managed not to ever hit five.

I believe in the big scheme of things this holds to be true:

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
