The Importance of Relationships
I think that there are two different types of failure. There's the failure when life doesn't go according to plan, like a driving test or you fail SAS selection. And there's the cataclysmic failure, which happens to you and is like your father dying - totally out of the blue. Those failures in and of themselves have no meaning within them. But my belief is that living alongside them and the grief and the pain that they might cause teaches or something. The only real wealth we have in our lives is always going to be rooted in the quality of our relationships. That's why the vulnerability is so important because without that, there's no connection.
