Do you know how many failed pitches and pilots are behind every TV show you've ever watched? How many awful first novels are hidden behind the good ones? How many bad drawings every artist produced on the way from being "that kid who likes to draw" to "a master"?

You do, indeed, have to fail a lot on the way to success, unless you get very very very lucky.
