With all due respect, that's certainly not unique to the Silicon Valley. A couple of my favorite quotes on the subject (from two people that probably never worked for either Cisco or Apple):
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you... you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'Failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down. - Mary Pickford

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. - John Stuart Mill
