This seems like the current SV spin on losing ("failure = pre-greatness"). It seems like he's specifically saying that losing helps you win, or losing will inspire you to win, or whatever. But really, it seems like the key is learning from your mistakes (and we make mistakes in failure, and in success). You can still succeed and improve and succeed more later on. I get the feeling that couching things in terms of failure let's everyone feel they can do it. I failed at so many things today. I fail at things everyday. And now failing is how to win. Great. It's a lot harder when relating to learning, because it seems so much harder and fewer people seem to do it on a daily basis. If I rewrote this and said "learn and you'll win," it'd be completely obvious. All that being said, you can fail all the time, but if you never learn, and repeat the same mistakes, you won't win.
