This means 2 things to me. 1st, it’s okay to fail, you don’t need to be perfect at everything all the time. I know this one logically but still sometimes manage to let fear of failure prevent me from trying new stuff. 2nd, you learn so much more from failing than you do from succeeding. Scientists have long talked about having a Journal of Negative Results. It’s just as important to share what works as it is to share what doesn’t work, so others don’t waste time/money repeating an experiment that you already know first hand won’t work.
