It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
About this quote
This line is widely attributed to Gates from commencement addresses and interviews throughout the 1990s, most concretely associated with his remarks at various business forums. Gates made the argument repeatedly in interviews during Microsoft's early years: that early success had sometimes made the company complacent, while the periods of greatest learning came from examining what went wrong.
