Many see failure as something to be ashamed of but I see it as something else entirely. I see it as a necessity.

Failure breaks that inflated image we carry of ourselves, that protective halo which stands between us and the willingness to try, to begin, to take a step we have never taken before. And it is the attempt — not the success — that is the true gateway to anything new.
