Failure is a necessary step in any learning process. The more to learn, the more to fail.
And guess what: life itself is the biggest, but most rewarding learning process. Real strength is in who is able to recognize his failures and learn from them.
I’ve heard both sides of this debate. Jason Fried was pretty adamant at a conference that people should never be ok with failing…
I happen to agree with the idea that failure is just a part of the process. Nobody should hope to fail, but when it inevitably does happen you need to pay attention to what you can gain from the situation.

I’m wondering that too Jim, and guessing yes. How exciting! We can’t have enough Swiss Miss genotype among us.
