What is your view on failure?
Failure? Oh, you mean that thing that happens when I try something and it doesn't quite work out? Well, I suppose it depends on how you define "failure." Is it a complete and utter defeat, or just a minor setback? If it's the former, then I'm not a big fan.
Who likes feeling like a total loser? But if it's the latter, then sure, bring on the failures! Because every time I fail, I learn something new. Like how to not do the thing that just failed. So really, I guess my view on failure is that it's not so bad, as long as I can laugh at myself afterwards.

Of course, it's not pleasant, if it's really important. But sometimes failure isn't bad at all, but you can learn from it. I'm thinking of literal misfires, trial and error - things, growing vegetables,.
Above all, don't worry about it. Accepting that it can happen is usually a learning opportunity for the next time.
Although I am very hard on myself, I see more and more these days that failure does not have to be a failure. They are usually just learning moments. Try and improve.
Okay, I'd rather have no failures at all, of course. but secretly it's an opportunity to learn and do better.
By the way, failures are part of life, because let's face it, otherwise there is very little to laugh about.
It also reminds me of a story about our jeweler/goldsmith: he said that the most beautiful jewelry is born out of failure.

If we see it as learning and use it to develop and improve, then it will be something positive in our lives. The detail is that when we don't use it that way then you can't.
interesting. First, we have to accept that things can fail. That is possible and that is allowed. Then, with that acceptance, we get the opportunity to then do better, grow and learn. You should never give up even if it may feel like a failure. Life is one big lesson.
