Summary

This quote suggests that failure is an integral part of personal growth and development. By stating that if a person has reached the age of 40 without experiencing failure, they have been deprived, it implies that failure is essential in gaining valuable life lessons, resilience, and wisdom. Failure provides opportunities for learning, self-improvement, and the motivation to strive for success. Therefore, the absence of failure could limit a person's ability to fully understand and appreciate the challenges and triumphs that come with life's ups and downs.
