seamonkeyrodeo: Failing: A Very Difficult Piece for Contemplation

for what it's worth, I fail on about 9 out of 10 things on any given day...but I forget the failures quick and generally only celebrate the 1 win...and whenever possible I try to pull off at least 100 things a day (so I can fit in 10 whole wins!)
Still I think it's built into a techie's DNA to live life on a bit of an emotional roller coaster...as I'm often up when I solve a problem and then almost immediately crushed when, five seconds later, I realize a thousand other people have already solved the very same problem (and in what appears to be infinitely better, smarter, ways).
Anyway - point is I feel for you...and I'm more or less in the same boat...so if/when you figure out the next move...keep me in mind too! ;-)
