"They'll tell you that failure is not an option,  that is ridiculous.  Failure is always an option.  Failure is the most readily available option at all times"  Chael Sonnen

If you believe the hype, you might fall into the trap that failure is just a normal part of everyday life.  That you HAVE to fail hundreds of times before succeeding.  That you should embrace failure.

I believe those are all the result of defining down what failure is.  To me, failure is a 'top shelf' term.  Failure is a big, for real, life-changing, future-altering collapse.  Anything less than that isn't a failure, it's just a bummer and something that you would have preferred to go a different way.

It may not be a popular opinion, but it keeps you from accepting failure and building it into your normal operations.

I'd love to hear your opinion on what failure is, and how you handle it.
