    I think it depends on whether you tried or not.

    I failed on a squat attempt one time...not a fun lift to fail on, even with 3 spotters...

    Depends if you learned anything from your failure

    It depends on whether or not you keep trying. If you fail, and give up, then you're a failure. If you keep trying, then you simply haven't succeeded yet ;)

    Is the glass half empty or half full?

    You're only a failure if you give up......

    I think it makes you failure at success, but a success at failure. So basically, it's win/win!

    There is no such things as failure. Just various degrees of succes.

    The only time you fail is if you never tried to begin with!

    This SO reminded me....

    Yesterday in class:
    A classmate named Martin who is very different then most of the students i have me(For more than one reason) said something. He didn't go to school out here until college so his responses and answers are somewhat funny simply because they are not what we expect and are used to. So he told us:

    I don't think America lost to the Vietnamese in the Vietnam war. They didn't lose, they just didn't beat the Vietnamese people.

    Which is interesting and funny at the same time. Your post reminded me of that.
