Everyone hears the crash. Almost nobody notices the quiet comeback. Do it anyway.

Public failure is loud and public recovery is quiet, which distorts how both get remembered. People saw the crash because crashes are visible from a distance, and they will miss the months of ordinary work afterward because nothing about that is interesting from outside. Waiting to be noticed ties your effort to somebody else’s attention. The work is worth doing without witnesses.

Decide that the rebuilding is for you rather than for the record. Keep your own account of it, since nobody else is keeping one. By the time anyone notices, you will already be somewhere further on.
