Learning to sail on a nice breezy day on Lake Avalon can be an adventure! These sailors looked like they practiced their lessons well as they maneuvered to catch the wind, but I've seen others off-course and toppled. Still, even those mishaps serve in the learning process! It really is too bad that mistakes are so often associated with failure, that emphasis is placed on the final product and rarely inclusive of the process, and that schooling itself is so often different from learning.
