Failure and success remind me of the Chinese yin yang concept. The concept of yin yang is used to explain the interdependence and complementarity of opposing forces in nature and the universe, and to illustrate the importance of balance and harmony in achieving overall well-being. In trading like the op said it helps to create harmony of our emotions and to have a clear head when trading.
Nothing can go as smoothly as expected, that means that each of us must experience ups and downs. Even a businessman will not be as successful as he seems without ever failing or at least losing money financially, that also applies to traders and investors because they both involve money. The successful are those who keep trying after failing, those who get up after falling until they finally find balance.
That is why mistakes or losses are the best teachers in the world; you will learn valuable lessons from them, and now is the time if you can still stand up and recover from those things. That is why we should treat it more as an opportunity than a failure, because we can gain something if we create an opportunity on it rather than being sad and not reflecting on it.
As long as people keep on looking for others to help them out, they will not learn a thing. But if they try to learn to fly themselves, they can figure out what's wrong and they may end up making a much bigger profit from it as well.

Not many people approach it that way, and that's a sad reality of the world we are living in right now, they just think that since we are in a social media world, they can reach out or find someone who could help them get rich, that's why this new tech world made it easier for us to get rich. That's not true, and they are wrong, which usually ends up with them either getting scammed or losing money. I hope that it gets better in the future but that shouldn't really be a big problem for us if we are careful.
