Failure isn't failure
Watch the talk
That was an early lesson to me, in that you can still fail in things, and its not even really your fault. Sometimes its just a bad situation.
So like any kid right out of school, I thought "Well, I'll just take tomorrow off."
It's not that I wanted to fail, but it was just part of becoming who I am.
All in all, failure just isn't failure. It's the not trying that's the real failure.
