Failure is not normal and it is speaks badly of you no matter what's the reason. Most people including me are not perfect and it will happen but that doesn't mean failure is alright, that means that we're an problem.
The only thing one has any right in their life to ever blame are themselves.
Clearly, the word "failure" in this context is insufficient, because we all would agree that some failures are unreasonable and some are an absolutely normal and necessary part of personal growth.
man, I'm so glad you cleared that up for us...
If it will take me 50x tries to do something and someone else of that same background will do it in 25x, that means I was doing something utterly wrong.
Either way, if your 49 failures were unacceptable, then so we their 24 failures. This conversation was never about comparing ourselves to those who are better or worse, but about the meaning and acceptability of "failure".
