Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

Edison replied very confidently, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.”

Great men has this tendency to see something out of nothing. We could learn so much from their way of looking at things.

Once I read a very memorable quote on the topic covered by you, dear Piyush ...

We should learn from others' mistakes because we have very little time during our life time to repeat them all.
