“Failure? Yeah, I can deal with that. But not trying? Now, that’s something I can't live with! Falling flat on my face is all part of the adventure, but sitting on the sidelines? Hard pass. I’d rather dive in headfirst, make a few glorious mistakes, and learn something than sit around forever asking, “What if?” At least with failure, you can say you gave it your best shot. The only real failure is staying in the safe zone and not trying at all. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

“Ambition! A simple word, yet so many multi-prognostics! At the outset, it arouses an array of positive emotions; zeal, success, energy, rise, achievement, forward, bright, shining, higher, respect etc. But there is another side too; defeat, listless, failure, slump, disgrace…and such.”

“The Picard principle is the adage that “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.” This principle denotes that even if you follow the best course of action available to you, you can sometimes still end up with a negative outcome, such as failure to achieve your goals. For instance you can submit a strong application for a job, and get rejected because the person who assessed the application already had a preferred candidate in mind. This principle helps you assess situations more rationally and cope with negative emotions, for instance when you would otherwise criticize yourself too harshly for a failure that wasn’t your fault. The risks of this principle are that it can lead you to avoid taking responsibility in cases where you should, and that it can cause feelings of frustration and helplessness.”
