[Munjibunga]

Yes it is.

 

[Chicory Blue]

Phew. That’s a load off.

[5StringBlues]

I have succeeded spectacularly in failure.

 

[Oddly]

The hell it ain't.










Also, this thread needs a poll.

But, what about our commitment to mediocrity?

 

[BassChuck]

Yes. It's the option that reaches out to you.... often with loving and forgiving arms.

 

[JRA]

failure can be good....from time to time!

 

[Frank Tuesday]

Yes it is.

Failure is the standard occurrence. Success is the option.

 

[Jim Nazium]

It totally is. So is giving up.

 

[BargeOn]

It's a certainty.

 

[two fingers]

It totally is. So is giving up.

The only difference is that the former CAN be your choice. The latter ALWAYS is your choice.

I'm a plumber. You better hope that I don't fail.

 

[slobake]

Yes it is.

You must have heard my bass solo.

 

[slobake]

Pipe down, you.

 

[shadowtippy]

Failure is a great teacher. I should have a Phd by now.

The only difference is that the former CAN be your choice. The latter ALWAYS is your choice.

And sometimes is the best choice. I'm thinking, for example, it might have been a good choice for Elizabeth Holmes to give up before she ended up putting people's lives at risk and facing fraud charges.
