“Any man who wants to be a scientist must be willing to fail 99 times before he succeeds once and suffer no esteem damage because of it.” Charles Kettering, a great inventor and industrialist said that, and I would say that’s likely true for any field of endeavour.
This doesn’t mean you must actually operate at that ratio, what does mean is you must be willing to if need be and as he suggested, suffer no self-image damage by doing so.
