I think it's important to emphasize that the beginnings of "failing one's way to success" started with many quotes from Thomas Edison. It's usually a bad idea to generalize any quotation to a rule, but I think in this specific case, it might be useful to say that there is no failure or success, only possibilities. If anything, making judgments either way is overrated.
