i find failure to be a dirty word...my definition of failure is something or someone that does not try...not at all...not lift a finger...not really want to lift a finger...and when things don't work they blame someone else...

of course the obvious failure is walking out on your children and not looking back...other than that...if you are trying as hard as you can and things just don't work out...in this economy...I think you are a hero...just saying...
