It's Only Failure If You Don't Learn

How exciting it can be to gather up the conviction to set a crucial goal and then direct the energy and focus to accomplish the feat. Invigorating and stimulating and all about being IN life.
You get yourself in your zone, you are charged up and prepared, and you start your mission. You make a bit of progress and it is good. Still on track, and moving toward your designated target.
Then, out of nowhere, a 'snag' occurs. A glitch. A wall. A barrier. Something is freaking in the way and preventing your easy movement from point A to point B.
FIE!
This is a critical phase of the problem solving/moving toward goal process. So many people will give up at this juncture, walking away with tail between legs and murmuring such things as "I am a failure. I am a failure."
Quite sad, actually.
It's Only Failure If You Don't Learn!
So many of the greatest ideas and inventions did not come immediately. Trial and error is pervasive, and how most of us learn the lessons of life. Were you a failure when you fell down the first ten times you tried to ride a bicycle? No. You were en route to learning how to succeed at it.
The same goes for nearly everything in which we involve ourselves. Try, learn, succeed. Try, learn, succeed. Try, learn, succeed.

In research, it is called the null hypothesis. Rulingout what does not work, narrowing the field to what does.
