One cannot achieve without hard work is ambiguous. Hard work is subjective so there can't be a fixed criteria in which someone could claim that hard work is necessary to achieve, especially when you consider what someone is trying to "achieve". Where as the second phrase is undoubtedly a fact. Mistakes can only be made when you are in action, doing something, or attempting something. So as I see it, they are not analogous. I'm not that smart sometimes so I could be wrong. At least I attempted and made a possible mistake and it wasn't hard work in the least to achieve said mistake, if it turns out I'm mistaken.....lol I'm actually pretty tired so I might not have even made sense.

I agree with Vernon that it is this statement is too ambiguos to be considered a reasonable argument. I also would add that, what about learning and listening from someone experienced or mastered in something who helps you avoid mistakes when you make attempts?
