It may. I have an uncle who would never admit it but when his dairy farm finally went bankrupt he started getting a regular paycheck, vacation for the first time in his life and my cousins couldn't get off the farm fast enough. Sometimes being forced to something new can help people do things they wouldn't try otherwise.
This sounds a bit wrong under the circumstances, and is a somewhat flawed statement anyway, but I have often thought that "Failure closes just one door, Success closes all the others!"
