Failure. That is what I considered myself to be. And perhaps still do. For the last 2 years, I have somehow managed to fail at everything I've tried my hand at. That's how I became 20-something and unemployed. But the interesting thing about failure is, the more you fail, the less it starts to matter to you. You almost start expecting it in everything you do. Now, I know I sound like some sort of Nihilist when I say this- the typical millennial with a short attention span who gives up at everything they try. And I could have almost become one- had I not figured out one small thing; a loophole to failure, if you may. The more you fail, the less it starts to matter to you. The less it matters, the less afraid you are of it. And the less afraid you are, the more you dare to try new things. And you try some more.. and more.. till you have a hundred times. The rule of probability states that the more you do something, the higher are your chances at being successful at it. Just think about it- if you flip a coin twice, you have very little chances of both of them turning out to be a "heads." But if you flip it 20 times, you have much higher chances of getting heads.
The purpose of this blog, other than my own personal ranting, is to chart my journey; from the most magnificent of failures to hopefully, a single instance of success so big, that it would be enough to make all my failures worth it in the end.
