This quote, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, is a profound lesson in objectivity and humility. It reminds us that reality (experience) is always honest. Nature follows its own laws perfectly; it doesn't make mistakes.When things don't go as planned, it’s not because life "lied" to us. It’s because our judgment—our hypothesis, our assumptions, or our expectations—was flawed. We expected a result that simply wasn't possible given the inputs.Don't get angry at the outcome. The outcome is just data. Use the experience to correct your judgment. That is the essence of the scientific method and the path to true wisdom.What is one recent "failed experiment" in your life that actually taught you the truth?
