Failure isn't the end; it's part of the path to success. During my recent trip to the U.S., I was amazed by how openly the startup culture embraces failure. Startups know that setbacks are part of the journey: 90% fail, yet those failures often pave the way for bigger innovations. In venture capital, 1 or 2 big successes out of 10 investments drive massive returns. The same principle applies in sports. Michael Jordan famously missed over 9,000 shots, but those misses made him a legend. In Formula 1, I learned that resilience after failure is what leads to breakthroughs. Jeff Bezos put it best when he said, "Failure and invention are inseparable twins." Amazon's greatest innovations came from a willingness to take risks and fail. At Stanford University Graduate School of Business, they emphasize how diverse life stories often shaped by failure lead to growth. But in addition to this, the culture of mentorship I witnessed, where people constantly ask, "How can I help you?" without expecting anything in return, shows that true success comes from both individual effort and the strength of your network. It's this kind of mindset that I would love to see more of in Europe, where embracing setbacks and supporting others openly could fuel innovation on a massive scale.
