Everyone wants to be better, faster, farther along than the others. Being successful is everything, winning is the only thing, and all that...
And of course, not everyone gets there. If we all did, then we wouldn't be the best at all would we?
Just to put all lovable losers at ease, sometimes failing (and failing spectacularly at that) gets you further in life. Failure breeds sympathy, it builds character and allows others to see examples of how things should or should not be handled. That's a good thing.
Of course, you cannot be a failure and a whiner. That's just weak. And you shouldn't be mediocre, that's just... well... mediocre.
For some reason success doesn't just breed respect and admiration. It also generates envy, jealousy, downright hatred even. Failure however may not be as bad as you think it is. Sometimes it pays to fall flat on your face.
