Latin translation:errando discimus
Explanation:
it isn't the exact translation, but it's a famous latin sentence which means more or less in english :

by making mistakes we learn.

To be honest, I didn' understand the exact meaning of your sentence, is it something like
"by making mistakes we improve our experiences?"

In this case, my answer is right...if not, sorry
