F.  FAILURE (and the power of positive thinking)

“Failure is a part of life.  But figuring out what to do from there is the hardest part … People fall short of their goals all the time, and I think that’s important for everyone to realize and deal with and move forward. This is where most of the growth happens”  (Zeeman, Carling).
