Not All Failure Is Tuition. Some of It Is Waste.
The culture says failure is the best teacher. Most of the time that is a receipt people print to avoid paying for the loss. There are two kinds of miss. The good miss is an honest aim that fell short, and it is the most expensive education available. The bad miss is neglect, drift, or a shot you never really took, and it teaches nothing because there was nothing in it to learn from. The Greeks had one word for both, hamartia, missing the mark, and the whole craft of getting better is learning to tell them apart.
