You know, on occasion this news site walks a fine line between actual motivation and the kind of platitudes and motivational rhetoric you'd expect from a minor cult. Seriously, here's a quote from the article:

"Understand that failure is not the opposite of success. Failure is an essential part of success. Once you succeed, no one will remember your failures anyway."

Thank you, oh pyramidal guru of total bullshit.

Do you know how many failed pitches and pilots are behind every TV show you've ever watched? How many awful first novels are hidden behind the good ones? How many bad drawings every artist produced on the way from being "that kid who likes to draw" to "a master"?

You do, indeed, have to fail a lot on the way to success, unless you get very very very lucky.

Or as my anti-motivational book will be called:

"If You're So Smart, Why Are You A Motivational Speaker?"

I just, errr, haven't got round to writing it yet.
