Everybody makes failures and mistakes. Not all admits it.
Also, the threshold for defining acts as "failure" varies individually.
If the threshold for classifying as "failure" is laid very high, a person may easy claim that " I never failure..."
On the other hand, the threshold too low, could make a person imagine, " all I do is failures".
A golden middleway of balance would probably do better.
One that admitt that one does failure every day, does not nescessarily do any more failures than one trying to imagine oneself and the world that one does never fail.
Of course I does not take such persons too serious.
Another, but imortant thing about "failures", are that it may be very difficult, perhaps even impossible to grow past ones weaknesses without admitting them? Stagnant.
The failure of failures
I even think that not admitting failures, are the failure of failures. Compare the term "failure" with the term "sin".
So, after all, failure is not as bad as its reputation. The fear of failure is much worse, as it may hinder one to see where one can do better. Progressive evolution?
So dont mind, after all the universe seems to work perfect, in an objevctive sense, which gives that perfection implies imperfection.
