The thing about the company not failing, but you failing... The best bit of advice I ever got was "don't beat yourself up, there's a line of folks who will do that for you if you let them, don't do their job for them."

Remember, sometimes when an airplane crashes the wings come off before it hit's the ground. The wings failed! Of course, the fact that the bonehead flying it has put 4 the structural load on the wings that they were designed to support might* be what caused that to happen - but "stupid wings, if only we had made them out of concrete"...

Don't beat yourself up, learn, suck it up, move on.
