Meaning
This reads as a claim that success is shaped as much by self-correction as by talent. It points to the idea that mistakes, if owned and worked through, can become part of building something lasting and large. It lands in a discussion of founders or athletes after failure, where learning from errors matters more than pretending they never happened.
