That's why you shouldn't put too much value into advice from successful people that came back from the brink of failure. For every one that turned almost failure into success there are probably dozens who did the same thing and just failed.

Those are the best available people to ask, though. You wouldn't want to ask people who entirely failed, or never tried. People who claim they never experienced near-failures on their way to success are either lying, or attempted something unambitious, or were so lucky that their experience isn't representative.
