I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Success, on this view, isn't about how high someone gets but about how well they spring back after a fall. The bouncing image makes resilience the real yardstick, treating rock bottom as a surface you can push off from.
