failure

The problem with giving up to avoid disappointment is you also avoid success and fulfillment when you succeed. While I’ve written a lot of crumby articles, there are a few I believe are truly exceptional, like The Authority of King Jesus and Embrace Immediate Abolition of Abortion. As the saying goes, you miss 100 percent of the swings you don’t take. And you don’t master something without first failing. These clichés exist for a reason—they’re true.
