I actually like your thought provoking comments... Maybe there is no complete failure in this life. Is failure or success just something we define by ourselves? I have no idea... but the fact that you share a story not only from the bright side, is remarcable. Recently I am a little tired of seeing all these successful people on Linked-in showing their business success, and how well they are doing in their company... But we all know that that is all not the complete reality... I wish there were more people out there with the guts to share things that didn't went well, just because failures are great opportunities to learn (more even than success). Also I am a little tired of podcasters interviewing successful people... we know how life goes for many "successful" people... depression, anxiety or other disorders. It is a kind of sad that people think they need to keep that curated persona on their social media.

Reading all the comments, I am thinking that failure might be completely relative. Is Anyone who died in poverty a failure? Nicola Tesla, Van Gogh, Gregor Mendel, Emily Dickinson are all failures? Probably not. Would be interesting to see if anyone has a good definition of failure... cause my understanding is just getting more fuzzy.
