This post seems to take the stance that we need to cultivate failure so that we can learn. We don’t need to cultivate failure, there’s plenty of failure to be had. I mean people need to be allowed to make their own mistakes but that’s not the same thing.

There’s a difference between cultivating failure and cultivating willingness to fail in the pursuit of success. Many people are too scared of failing (or of being perceived to have failed) to actually try anything that’s not 100% safe.
