This is very true. I think the only thing that separate the wizards and us are their high confidence in their own abilities and not letting setbacks hinder their progress and success. I think this generalizations go for many people in sports, business, science and many other areas. Many of us focus on our failures and not enough of our accomplishments to move forward (I think this is due to upbringing in our society). Getting rid of many of society's beliefs is the first step toward seeing ourselves and our potential in the markets. It's not the markets, it's us.
Well said Torero,

I am constantly trying to view "failure" as an opportunity to learn something so I won't repeat it with a larger amount of money. Someone once said "you'll never again be as stupid as you are today..." I think that is insightful.
