Wikipedia tells me that failure is: the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. It may be viewed as the opposite of success.
I suppose that this makes sense. I know that I would love to be able to do a handstand. Heck, I'd settle for a simple cartwheel! Except that I can't do either, which means that I'm not meeting my intended objective. So yes, it's not so desirable. Who actually wants to fail?
The part I don't quite agree with, however, is that it's the opposite of success. I know that it sounds like a crazy thing to say, but in all reality, both are just building blocks for something greater. We build character in our mistakes, and confidence in our successes. It's all a learning process.
So no, I can't do a handstand, but to be honest: it's not such a big deal.
