Are You a Failure?

I came across a thought-provoking post on Geeks today that asks: Are you a failure? My initial reaction, of course, (as yours probably is) was “Uh… NO. I’m not!” Then, I read the post and changed my mind. Among other things, the blogger writes:

If you are actively pursuing your dreams, you’ve probably already experienced some level of failure. The great thing about failure is that it just means you’re not there yet, not that you won’t get there. Wear your failure on your sleeve as a badge of honor!

By golly, in that case – I AM a failure! I try new things all the time, and not all of them succeed. However, I tweak and tune what I’m doing until it does work. If that makes me a failure, then so be it! I’ll wear it on my sleeve as a badge of honor.

So – are YOU a failure?

I’m a failure, too. Proud of it.

It is only through attempt that we succeed.

Those are very true words.

I sometimes mind that kind of simple directness, but fortunately I’m thinking along those lines already.

By this standard, I am a HUGE failure! Repeatedly! And to that I say…bring it on!!! Ready for more.

Thank you for this post!

yep, a big failure, i can even fail in a contest of failing :P
