The satire comment was in general about that author and post, not the specific line.

Failing is learning. Failing in something you don't enjoy isn't fun.

Sometimes one can learn from failures. Other times, most of the time I'd say, failure is failure and one ends up, depending on the failure, with less money, less energy, fewer successes.

I don't like "failing", I don't want to fail so I can learn, certainly for the ambitious person there are failures, losses, things that did not work out on the way, hopefully to success, but selection bias is strong when saying that failing is learning.
