I failed: the missed penalty, the lost race, the bad mark, sentence 7

Failure stings because you cared; the trick is to hear "not yet" instead of "never", to look at what you learned, and to measure yourself against your own last try, not against the friend who passed.

Who acts: Failure, you, trick, friend, your · What happens: sting, care, be, not look, learn, measure · To what, where: yourself
