Can we talk about failure? How much of a piece has to work to be a success?

I've been pondering how much of my art is learned through failure today (which is most). I might nail the composition but scrub the details, or the colors might dazzle but my use of the medium is clunky. Since I'm always trying to push into my edge I'm always happy with the things that worked and learning about the aspects that didn't. Of course normal people don't see all the mistakes that I do! But it got me thinking: how much of your art has been learned through failure? How much of a piece turns out how you planned? How do you deal with the parts that didn't turn out as you hoped?
