The failure of others does not necessarily have to be a stepping stone on your way to success, it depends on how you view and use these situations. On the one hand, if you can analyze the reasons for the failures of others with a positive attitude, learn from them, summarize experiences, avoid repeating the same mistakes, and turn these experiences into your own help to move forward, then the failures of others may provide you with reference and become a driving factor for your success. For example, find problems from competitors' failed business models and optimize their own strategies. On the other hand, just seeing others fail without deep thinking and effective action, or just holding a schadenfreude mentality, then the failure of others is meaningless to you and will not be of substantial help to your success. So the key is that you must have keen insight, good learning ability and aggressive spirit, and take the initiative to extract value from the failures of others in order to make it possible to become a stepping stone on your way to success.
