In a society geared toward success and achieving perfection, mistakes or failure are not expected: we tell and value glorious stories of goals achieved or surpassed, stories of success and profit. And if we fail, we react with aversion, sometimes excluding those who failed. Yet, failure is a very important source of learning and growth.
Wealth, celebrity, professional success, private happiness: we hear all the time about heroic stories, mistakes do not exist, and if they happen it is always the fault of others – those who do not succeed.
