Success of Failure

This article basically explained the different ways your can interpret failure. It took examples and observations the author had to explain the different concepts. Some of the things that stood out to me in the reading included, "Failure only exists in contrast to success" and vice versa, "existence without grace". This gave me a very different perspective to view failure, however most of the article did same thing, this quote of at the beginning seemed the strongest. Another point in the article that stood out to me was, when the author shared how after his son was born he picked up a medical book on child birth and it showed dozens of ways birth can go wrong, and very few ways it can he healthy and successful. He then landed on the conclusion that its possible formal medical analysis is more comfortable with failure than success. I found this to be intriguing, how failure can be more comfortable in a world where failure often leads to death, as opposed to the art world where failure has much less severe consequences. Finally one of the last ideas that really stood out to me was. How failure of big ideas is often better than the success of small ideas. I think it's a great idea to live by considering photography or even art in general.
