Analyzing A Source

My quote is taken from a TedTalk video about the reasons why people should not be discouraged by the prospects or repercussions of failure and should instead strive to focus on their accomplishments instead. When the quote starts, she was giving a presentation on how many people had supposedly impossible dreams but achieved them very quickly. She said this to introduce the idea that many things are possible, but there may be many accidents along the way. Then she says "6 of the 8 Atlas Rockets blew up on the pad, after 11 complete mission failures we got our first images from space, and on that first flight we got more data than all the U2 missions combined" to solidify the idea that even genius scientists can make extreme mistakes when doing something completely new, but in the end they will eventually yield progress (4:20). This is relevant to my conversation because in becoming an airline pilot, I will be faced with many failures, be they not getting a particular job, not being able to learn/get a certification on my first try, or other kinds of failures that are largely out of my control, but if I want to be truly successful, ill need to look past that and focus on the end goal of being a pilot. I should learn from my mistakes, but I should put more emphasis on the net result than all the mistakes I made getting that result.
