Nah, failure is failure. If you don't want to keep failing you need to learn from the mistakes of yourself and others. That whole warm fuzzy "this is really that, if only" stuff gets irritating. Nothing personal. Just want to state my opinion on the topic.

Oh here's my favorite quote on the subject.
"Past events are not what makes a person, only future action, because it's only the future that we have the power to change. Just because you once failed, does not make you a failure anymore than having once been in kindergarten means you are a kindergartner. So grow up!" :)

Yeah, I see your point, but like you said: "Failure is failure. If you don't want to keep failing you need to learn from the mistakes of yourself and others." -And that's exactly the point in the above picture. Failure is Success if we learn from it.. That's how I interpret it at least.
