Pollyanna never had it so good
What is failure? Really? Merely “success that hasn’t occurred yet.” Very heartening to anyone, anywhere, trying to accomplish anything. (Perhaps Townsend has a future career as a motivational speaker?)
(Yes, I’ve read Pollyanna. Although she was very chipper, she didn’t stoop to poli-speak.)

Book #2 is on its way. Slowly. But getting there.
I'm finally ready to rejoin life. Slowly, too.

I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless and his more expensive stuff is mind-blowing. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
Success and failure are very closely related. We cannot have success without first experiencing some failure. It provides lessons needed for success.
Ro,
Very true — BUT I certainly don’t consider failure as “success that hasn’t occurred yet” (this piece was discussing finding Osama). Failure is simply failure, period.
