dust, stop trying to wriggle out of it. You read your own meaning into my words and now it is you trying to defend your mistake. Here is the relevant words you referred to.
"I think if you look for differences between individuals who are successful and those who are failures, the successful person is the one who is able to put the mistakes and failures behind him, whilst the failure allows them to overcome him. We all need to maintain momentum in our lives in order to progress, and the constant lamenting of past mistakes doesn't allow you to do that. On the other hand is it merely an indication or whether the person is a vindictive or the forgiving type?"
