This proverb means that the challenges and obstacles we encounter in life are opportunities for learning and personal growth. Indeed, it is by facing difficulties that we develop our skills and strengths. Choking can be seen as a metaphor for the mistakes or failures we commit, teaching us to be more careful (chewing properly) in the future. Similarly, falling is a way to learn how to get back up and walk better. The equivalent in English would be: ‘Practice makes perfect.’
