Your victories mostly speak for themselves.
It’s difficult to learn from sources that hide information. Training models should compress reality to be concise. Success stories that hide loss train you to worship other people.
A person who aspires to make things wants to learn what’s required to make things. Loss is what's required. Lots of it. Progress is made by doing something new. If it's worthwhile, it will be hard. If its hard you will lose many times before you succeed.
If you want to make things, find something worthwhile to make. Embrace that you'll fail and likely change course before succeeding. Succeed and seek again.
The biggest difference between you and whoever you want to be isn't their success. It's their loss.
