The case for failure
The Gray Area with Sean Illing

I think so. There has to be a balance. Different cultures have achieved a better balance. We need to be successful because otherwise it's extremely frustrating. It's unhealthy to experience only failure. It goes against the human nature. But if all our lives are obsessed with success, we miss something important about what it means to be human.
