got told by a senior producer today, "Do not be afraid to make mistakes - just do not make the same one twice." That is probably the best advice I have had in this placement. What is one piece of advice that has actually stuck with you?

I heard that advice when I first started. And it was some of the best advice I have ever gotten. I may make a mistake but I never make it again after I learn it was a mistake.

I get that, but I do not buy it fully. Some mistakes you have to relearn a few times before it sticks, especially in fast-paced jobs. Pretending you never repeat them feels a bit unrealistic.
