Of the two types of failure, you can only change one.
If a young man asks a young lady out and she says no, that's not a failure.
He may think it is, but it's really a chance that didn't go his way.
Even if he repeats the exercise ten times with ten different young ladies with the same result, it's still only chance.
There could be many reasons why the young ladies he approached didn't accept.
None of those reasons could have been related to him.
That's not failure.
That's chance.
With chance, you can improve your chances of success with persistence.
Actual concrete failure is different.
Thomas Edison encountered failure numerous times before he found the successful formula for the light bulb.
Failure is trying to pursue a goal that's bigger than your willpower strength.
Failure is touching a hot stove and getting burned.
Unlike chance, failure is an entirely predictable result.
This is an excellent result because you know what you did didn't work, and you can change something to change the outcome.
What are the best strategies for coping with failure?
When something is a chance failure, be stubbornly persistent.
When something is a concrete failure, try something else.
When it's a combination, be persistent with varying strategies.

P.S. I found this concept quite refreshing.
It takes a bit of pressure off when the things I do don't work, and many of them don't.
Not that I was ever going to quit experimenting.
I'm too stubborn for that.
One of the things you and I need to be able to identify with any project is where the failure points are, and the only way to identify those is with good tracking.
