a lesson on failure

Failed attempts and what this day has taught me:

I failed twice while attempting to build a compost bin.  

I failed at finding someone to go to dinner with me at the last minute.

I failed to see how interesting the neighbor's candle light dinner went when they closed the curtains and turned off all the lights.  I am secretly jealous.

Some 14 year old teenager down the street shot at a police officer but failed to hit him.


Conclusion:


Sometimes we shouldn't give up until we succeed.  

Other times it's good to be a failure.

Now, I will go eat a sweet potato.

At some point later in the week I will re-attempt the constructing of my compost bin as well as find someone to eat dinner with me.  I will probably also watch the neighbors make dinner.
