I heard a speaker yesterday talking about "falling is not failing." What really struck me was a quote from Alexander Grahm Bell. When they asked him about his many failures before inventing the light bulb. Bell said that these were not failures. He had discovered ways not to invent the light bulb. I can truely say that I have had much of these types of successes.
In order to fail, you must fall. If you fail to fall, you will never fail, but if you fall you will not nessecarily fail since falling is not failing. If you fail to understand this, you have not failed, but I have failed and you have caused it, so now you have failed to understand.
In short, I don't like the word "failure". Success is much better.
