In a previous post you mentioned minimizing mistakes, unfortunately for social interactions the more mistakes one makes (with no real repurcussions) the more one learns. Examples would be proper ettiquette of silver, glasses, etc. The more you do it the more comfortable you become using them and don't wonder "What's the small tiny fork for???"

My mother in law wonders how I know PCs so well. I know more about PCs because I made more mistakes than the average person. Instead of freaking out like my mother in law does, I turn the machine off and back on trying to figure out what I did wrong to cause the problem.

It's all about experience. Experience isn't just good ends, but also some bad ones. You do have to try to keep the good higher than the bad, that's for sure.
