I think that the beneficial aspect of failure is far too often overlooked by nearly everyone; thanks for bringing it up here!

Let forget about success/failure and good/bad - all in all is just a way from point A to point B. We need to explore _new_ points, we need to explore _new_ ways. That's the way to learn. The greater the uncertainty the closer success/failure ratio to 50% :) And what about "learning from experience" vs. "learning from books"? Dale,
