I think it means you need contrast to have perspective...

I suppose the contrast between a failure and a success invokes true appreciation and recognition of success, especially if it comes after a spectacular failure. Also, I think the persistence of trying something until you succeeded, implies that you have experienced failures, but you were not deterred.

I believe it strongly.
Some here say you must fall in order to get back up. Or you must see darkness before the light.
Its nice to think about when your life hits the rocks and you think things can't get any worse. Only better. But things don't happen on their own, you want to live better and be successful you must work hard to achieve your goals.
It could also mean to learn from ones mistakes. Therefore one must make mistakes to see the true way to success.

I believe it means you have to learn from your mistakes. Einstein said something to the effect of "show me someone who has made no mistakes and I'll show you someone who has never tried anything new". It is the same concept-you don't grow or succeed without making some mistakes.

Because people that can overcome failure become the greatest achievers.
