Quote

Children learn early on that failure in the classroom, or on a standardized test, is one of the worst things that can happen to you. This creates a perception that failure and success are extreme opposites of the continuum: The further you are from failure, the closer you are to success. In real life, however, failure often precedes or accompanies success; in other words, failure and success are close to one another, not the opposites.
