Great quote. That’s a very nice view of it. =).
Thanks, Derrick. I have a whole series on failure, because I see it as essential to success.

happiness? life?
The music represents actual music. If all that existed was bacteria, who would have created music? If change had not occurred, we would not have any of the amazing plants, animals, or even people that we see around us.
So think of your own failures as chances to let something wonderful, but unexpected, come about.
