My view of failure is. Only those who swing and miss, get annoyed enough to know to swing better and hit.
I remember getting in the ring with a world champion boxer. I did really well against him, until a point where I had him stumbling and almost knocked out (not intentionally, I was just being honest and hitting him when he was making mistakes). He then reached an "oh screw this" point and opened up what I now affectionately know as five kinds of whoop a$$. He broke my guard like it was made of paper and straws. Spun, the twirliest strikes you've ever seen and I was absolutely shut down.
Afterwards I was like "this is awesome", "finally, he showed me what it takes", "that extra level of focus, feel, and blind composure".
He got annoyed enough to swing and hit.
Problem for me always was "who am I?". And it turns out, the answer is whoever you make yourself to be. You can be angsty, stupid, dull, or you can express yourself completely, controlled, and with a sense of melodic timing.
Those who swing hard and fast miss, those who see the prize adjust and hit.
Or at least that is how it works in boxing.
