failure is a weird word, it can mean all kinds of things. I can fail to get up on time for example.

i wouldn't consider What happened to you a failure, that's just work. Wrong decisions happen all day every day in all kinds of businesses. What part of the experience would you consider the "failure"? The only thing i can think of is just lack of experience for that particular situation. I wouldn't qualify lack of experience as failure.

A failure to me is not delivering what you promised with it being in your full control to do so. But, like i said, failure can mean all kinds of things.



Yeah it was more failure to protect myself, really. I was 18 at the time and still early in my work career.
