I heard a quote and had a thought:
The one who walks through life without mistakes,
Has walked through life not having accomplished a single thing.
There is a lot of truth in both.. but think about this:
Without failure, how would we know how to define success? And without success, how would we know how to define failure? Which came first, and which is more important in life?
If we don’t have failures, how can we learn? But when failure deters the want or persistence to try again, how can we ultimately reach success? How do we know our successes are successes and not just a really good failure which we accept as a success from the lack of determination to do it just a little bit better?
haha, I’m really bored at work (now add confused w/ a headache).

This is great- I totally see your point here. I’ve always thought of it as.. what’s “good” and what’s just “good enough”? How do you know that what you have/do/experience is the best it can be when you haven’t had other experiences? It sort of puts “settling” into perspective… isn’t everything, in a sense, settling for something? Maybe you’re happy with one thing, or feel like you’ve achieved all you wanted to achieve… but there’s always the question of being happier, or achieving even greater things.
