The great scientists, Watson and Crick were both unsuccessful in DNA synthesis, but they did not give up on the field of Molecular Biology. Nay, both of them collaborated and providence shined upon them both. The two of them were able, through their failures in the past, to learn from their mistakes and eventually mapped the Human Genome. They were able to construct the double helical structure of Eukaryotic DNA; and mandating the antiparallelity of the structure.
Hence, the birth of molecular biology. From which, led to human intervention of molecular-level diseases; understanding of those diseases and conditions and preventing or changing the outcome through chemical therapy. Because of the works of Watson and Crick, humans are now able to genetically clone DNA polyermases, peroxidases, proteins, chromosomes on the molecular level. And eventually on the organismal level.
It is true what Mr. Ayag said; every failure presents a window of opportunity and progress.
Great minds of the past were successful because they learned from their mistakes; which fueled their resolve.
