Don’t worry about failure; you only have to be right once.

The line reframes failure as a tolerable, even expected, cost of innovation. In entrepreneurship and other high-uncertainty pursuits, most attempts may not work, but a single successful insight, product, or decision can outweigh many missteps. The quote encourages persistence by shifting attention from the tally of failures to the asymmetry of outcomes: one “right” move can create disproportionate value (a viable company, a breakthrough, a lasting contribution). It also implies a probabilistic mindset—keep iterating, learning, and taking shots—because the goal is not perfection but eventual correctness.
