Meaning
This reads as a corrective to shame, treating failure as information rather than verdict. It suggests that setbacks matter because they reveal what needs to be understood or changed, and it lands after a rejection, a mistake at work, or any moment when disappointment can either harden into defeat or turn into learning.
