I love this mindset and it sounds like you've lived quite the life so far. It sounds like you have a lot of stories to tell, and I think story-maximization is another good life strategy.

Your thoughts on failure remind me of a twitter thread I read yesterday by a new parent watching their baby try and learn to walk. I haven't had that experience yet myself, but it sounds like you might have. Babies are extremely determined and have absolutely no fear of failure during that phase. It's too bad so many people forget that attitude later in life.
