There is a second part to this Chinese proverb.

"Success is also the mother of failure."

While the first part of it suggests people to learn from failures and encourages those that has failed to brace up and try again, the second part serves as a warning on complacency, arrogance and following the success model blindly.

Future success stems in part from past mistakes, or even failure.
