Hey Andrew J! I liked your article and have the same thoughts of failure. It's all a big learning experience :)
@JRandom42-I wrote an article on failure (http://leadingassociates.net/?p=390) awhile back, and you made the same argument here on Brazen about your wife being in healthcare. Again, most corporate professionals are not put in life-or-death situations.

@Jason Simon - Thanks! All the credit goes to my mentor who left me with that same message. I'm trying to start practicing what I preach, just like he does.
@Trina Wellendorf - Yup, that's what life is. One big learning experience.
