F Word

Failure. What is it really? I've been talking to a lot of people lately about failure and how they define it. 2011 has not been good to a lot of people I know. Can you really say that you failed at something if you at least tried it? If you try something and it's not a good fit, or you weren't given the right tools, is it a failure? Is it on you? Should you feel bad because it didn't work out? How do you define it? Maybe failure is not trying at all.
