意味
Gaining experience through failure
文化的背景
There is a famous proverb: 'За одного битого двух небитых дают' (One person who has been beaten is worth two who haven't). It emphasizes that experience gained through hardship is twice as valuable. In schools, 'работа над ошибками' (work on mistakes) is a formal part of the curriculum where students must rewrite corrected versions of their errors. This phrase is the adult version of that concept. In the 90s, 'learning on mistakes' was often literal and dangerous. Today, the tech sector in Moscow and St. Petersburg has adopted the 'fail forward' mentality, making this phrase very popular in startups. Russian writers often use the concept of 'spiritual trial' (испытание). Learning from mistakes is seen as a path to 'очищение' (purification) of the soul.

Yes, if you are referring to one specific mistake, but the plural 'ошибках' is much more common as a general philosophy.
In Russian, you learn 'on' the basis of something. It's a spatial metaphor where the mistake is the platform for your growth.
Be careful. It can sound like you are blaming the person for their misfortune. Use it for skills and choices, not tragedies.
