Thinking about Failure
Our society is obsessed with failure--probably because we are obsessed with success.
Although we can't define "success." We can only define what we want. Getting what we want is not an objective definition of success.
I think I want a high profile position. There is so much more to be and do.
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed
As often is the case, Emily gets it right.

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory
As he defeated – dying –
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!As often is the case, Emily gets it right.
