Competitive Failure

I bet I’ve failed more than you have.

If I’m wrong, congratulations to you! And well, that’s just one more failure for me, so I’m hot on your trail 😀

Clearly the best way to fail a lot is to set your standards too high. This is a natural tendency for me, I don’t know if I learned it or if I was just born with this advantage. Perhaps one day science will be able to tell us?

In the meantime, science continues to fail at telling us if genetic predeterminism is a valid theory or not. Nurture, nature, or...something else? That which has been tested but has not been disproven, remains. It’s important to note that our understanding is not actually required here, only our testing. I want more of the world that I live and work in to look like this.

Will I fail at this too? Well, how can we find out?

While you’re thinking about that (and writing your comments below) here’s a song that was initially a colossal failure for me. My original vision just plain didn’t work, and I almost dropped this song from the album. But then I opened up what it was, and let my engineer try some ideas, and it wound up being nominated for the a cappella version of a Grammy. Failure opened up new possibilities of success, as it usually does.
