Fail!  Failure has been embraced by a younger generation content with calling the result of trying by it’s shorter name, fail.  

When did the simplest of tasks like playing a video game and dying on an easy level become hijacked with such a permanent word to describe your result?

Fail, and failure seems so final.  I grew up failing.  Luckily I didn’t grow up being labeled a failure.  My failures were labeled as an attempt, a try, or a gutsy endeavor. 

Each fail was part of the progress.  Every burnt quesadilla wasn’t a reason to quit trying but a reason to keep trying. 

Change, adapt, learn, grow, and embrace progress.

Failure is a friend of progress not the finality of one attempt to succeed.
