I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.


I think people who have never really been previously rewarded with success, but who nonetheless persevere with high levels of effort until eventually succeed is attained, are few and far in between.  I think majority of those who persevere and attain greater success were buttressed by confidence built upon preior lesser successes.

So while failure teaches all how to succeed, success teaches most to strive for greater success.
