Summary

This quote implies that individuals can be categorized into two groups - those who have failed in some way and those whose potential or capabilities are still unknown. It suggests that there is no middle ground or gray area, thereby presenting a simplistic and binary perspective on human achievement and potential. It may also imply that failure is seen as a negative outcome, while being unknown may leave room for possibilities and further exploration.
