That sounds like a positive way to look at making a mistake. It is not failure. It is just a step backward. Most people who think they fail, don't try again. That is a positive look at a situation. I like it.

A feeling I know well.
If someone has tried 10,000 ways that don't work then someone else doedn't have to try those ways. So the work has not been in vain.

Determination and the will to succeed. It's an optimistic quote although exaggerated which is typical of a quote, it has to have impact so is therefore often scaled to OTT measures

I think it's great, I'm gonna say that to my teachers when I make mistakes in class. Maybe not 10,000 ways though...

I know what the quote is trying to say (keep trying until you get it right) but really if someone quoted that to me I would think that they were a loser with too much time on their hands......... ;-)
