[00:00:00]Five, failure is treated as tuition, not disgrace.

[00:00:05]This is the point I promised you at the beginning.

[00:00:08]>> [music] >> And I want you to sit with this one carefully because it is more important than most people realize.

[00:00:15]In most societies around the world, failure destroys you.

[00:00:19]>> [music] >> Your family is embarrassed. Your community judges you.

[00:00:24]You lose status, credibility, sometimes everything.

[00:00:28]So, people stop taking risks. They play it safe. They choose the job over the startup, the salary over the equity, the security over the ownership.

[00:00:38]And that choice, made millions of times across millions of people, [music] is why billionaires don't emerge from those places at scale. America is culturally different. In Silicon Valley, if you haven't failed at least once, people wonder if you've ever really tried anything ambitious.

[00:00:54]Failure in America is treated as tuition. You paid for an education in what doesn't work. Now, go build what does.

[00:01:02]This is not a small cultural difference.

[00:01:04]It is a massive structural advantage because billion-dollar companies are almost never built perfectly on the first attempt. Before Elon Musk had Tesla and SpaceX, he had near bankruptcies in both. Before Jeff Bezos had the everything store, he had failed product launches.

[00:01:22]Before Howard Schultz built Starbucks into a global empire, he was rejected by nearly 250 investors. America's culture allows you to try, fail, learn, try again, and again until the system works.

[00:01:38]That is why America produces more billionaires, not because Americans are smarter or luckier, but because the culture gives people enough runway to eventually get it right.
