This whole trend of 'Must.Fail.Harder' (the page tag) looks very nice in almost all motivational posts. It misses a very important point though. Success moves you one step forward, failure keeps you at the same step. Sure, now you know more about that particular step, but really you are not "saving cost and time". Should failure be looked as a disaster? Of course not, learn from it and move forward. But let us not act as if failing was the best thing that could happen. The best case scenario was Winning!
