Failure would seem to create elevation and seperation between people. So early on in life, we teach our kids that, "No one is really a failure". Then, as young adults, we can't comprehend the concept of failure, we freak out like big babies when we are on the cusp of failure, and beg our superiors to do anything but brand us with a scarlet F. It's crazy. Me? I've failed many a time. Flat on my face. I've grown from it. I recommend it to everyone. Fail once and awhile. Every failure makes you that much hungrier for success.
