I think this makes it simplistic- as an entrepreneur running a growing startup I HATED my failures. I previously ran a startup that didn't make it and I was miserable for a long time...it's hard to accept defeat.

In the digital ecosystem we celebrate failure because if you've never failed, you've never tried. You have to be willing to take the risk and put yourself out there.

The best entrepreneurs I know have also failed- it is very, very rare to hit a homerun the first time out. The article says maybe we should celebrate completing something but a failure is that- a failure to complete the plans for the startup. You didn't complete it, you failed.

And once you fail you can either give up and go back to corporate America with its fake veil of security or you can brush yourself off and start over
