	I'm in the process of compiling some stories of people that have failed and came out of it alive. But not just alive... better than before they failed. I'm interested in the opposing stories as well... people that have failed and decided not to get up.&nbsp;<p /><div><a href="mailto:allgaier@me.com">Shoot me an email</a>&nbsp;if you've got a good story, or know someone that does.</div><p /><div>Thanks!</div><p /><div><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>

<div>We've trained ourselves to think of failure as a negative thing. In fact, we're pretty scared of it. So scared that we are reluctant to try new things. This is stupid. Failure is simply a process that is inevitable. That doesn't mean I think we should try and fail, but I think we should change the way we look at it. Failure teaches us a lot of things, and if you're smart enough you can learn from the failures of others (the recommended method). Bottom line: it's okay to fail. Stop worrying about what others might think or how bad the fall might hurt. Concentrate your energy on what your next move will be, cuz you can't change anything behind you.</div>
<p />
<div>The objective of this website is to expose real <strong>FAILURES</strong>  from actual people and show how great things can <strong>HAPPEN</strong> if we face them head-on and use what we learn to advance ourselves.</div>
