A little harsh, but a word of advice from my hunting guide mountain man grandfather in Wyoming. I made a huge (Huge!!!) mistake and was beating myself up about it and he pulled me aside and said:

"If you're gonna listen to one thing I tell you this is it: You learn from [censored] up, and you don't [censored] up from learning."

Sorry for the language (I am a Christian and so was he) but that's what he said and that's what he meant. He died that fall. He was wiser than I ever realized.
