Failure is information -- we label it failure, but it’s more like, 'This didn’t work, and I’m a problem solver, so I’ll try something else.'
-- Carol Dweck
We put too much stock in concepts related to success and failure -- achieving those like results, and too quickly. Those are, perhaps at best, partial and retroactive descriptions of something...not tests along the way.
We need more tenacity, more grit, because there is more to discover than relatively arbitrary definitions of success or failure...and the unfortunate, preemptive conclusions they offer us.
