You don't automatically learn from mistakes. Most people don't learn anything from their mistakes. You have to think to learn from your mistakes.
You have to look at what happened, analyze what the consequences were and why it happened that way, then think about what you might do differently in the future...pretty much in that order. That's some heavy-duty thinking, but it's how we learn from mistakes.

Not much good ever comes from thinking, but humans lacked in physical ability and somehow created evolved thinking ability instead. The only good that does come from it is that most of us don't have to be worried about being eaten by a Sabre-tooth tiger when we go to sleep at night.
And we can't learn from our mistakes if we don't think. Most of us don't use our thinking skills to their full potential. In general, humans are still far too tied to their emotional/survival thought backgrounds.

To learn from our mistakes we have to be able to think about those lessons we learned. It takes thinking to draw from memories, past experiences, the lessons we learned and how we learned them. Sometimes thinking about those times helps us to make better decisions going forward.

You must be really bored.
Because in order to learn from our mistakesm we have to think about what we did wrong. If we didnt think, how could we ever choose between paper or plastic? And didnt you just think up this question, and the good that came from it is that you got answers.

It's all in the brain and how to use it.
For problems there many solutions, we have to think and take the right solution out.
Yes one can learn everyday no one knows everything, that's the good thing in life explore what life is and how people react on it.

Your question ' If we learn from our mistakes, why think?'
My answer : When we learn, we think(indirectly). And it is for your good that you learn.

you cant learn if you dont think. you cant make a mistake unless you can make a decision -- that requires thinking too.
