Today I went to the gym, and I was doing my bench press, when a fellow walked over and corrected my grip; my grip was narrow, but to workout one&rsquo;s chest one must use a moderate grip. I was thinking on the bicycle ride that that&rsquo;s the first time in a few weeks I&rsquo;ve really failed at something. I don&rsquo;t think that&rsquo;s a good thing. The times in my life I got the most done were the times when I was failing a lot, and the lack of failure is indicative that I&rsquo;m not trying enough things. One thing I&rsquo;m going to add to these posts going forward is a failure from the day.</p>
