Failure manifests as numerous different things and presents itself in a variety of forms, none of which embody excitement, or joy, or even a tad pleasure. Failure is tough; it habitually feels dreadful and heart wrenching, and occasionally makes you want to crawl up into the tightest, smallest, most compact little ball you manage to muster, where you sit in a corner and hope and pray for it somehow to go away, for somehow the pain to stop.

There resides only one lone benefit from failing, but that benefit far outweighs the risks and detriments: failure serves as the supreme teacher. If a crew goes out and loses every single game, and gets utterly bullied by their opponents, but goes back and learns from all of their beatings, and takes record of what went awry to resist it from happening again, then how can they possibly lose? You only truly lose if you profit nothing from when you
