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.
In my opinion, risks taken and loses suffered are a great way to know about someone's skills and quality. You can't expect great stuff from people who have never put anything at stake.
This thinking makes me hate when people glorify executive leaders in big corporations as if they were touched by god just by being there. I've met many of them, and many are just obedient bees whose biggest credential is patience and loyalty, but have never actually done proper business. Not even a fucking lemonade stand.
Some others do have taken professional and personal risks, and it shows.

Very true words. It's your failures that teach you the lessons that lead you to success.

I was listening to a podcast the other day (don't recall which one) and the guest said that he wished children were taught that mistakes mean learning, not something bad. I'm paraphrasing.

Most of the time, you can get better simply by increasing your willingness to lose.
