Failure is a natural part of many people’s lives. Some people will just not succeed at the things they wanted and tried at. I hope you’re never one of them, sincerely.
But if it happens, I hope nobody tells you that you didn’t want it, you didn’t really try, or that your failure is offensive because you tapped out when it was no longer wise to continue.
