You ask the question what have you learned from failure? I've learned that even when I fail at something, there's always another chance to try again, and God loves me no matter what. Failure provides me the opportunity to realize that none of us are the best at anything, because there is always someone with more experience and ability, and failure provides a person the chance to learn from his mistakes from those who are more experienced in his area. Success is crucial to build self-confidence and belief in one's own abilities. But failure, at least in a humble spirit, like that of a little child, can make us realize that we don't always have to win that trophee, or hit a home run, or make strikes every time we're at the bowling alley. To much success leads to arrogance, but failure can either lead to self-loathing or the chance to realize that all is not lost, and there's always a next time in which to succeed. Did Jesus encourage us to have confidence in ourselves? Did he encourage us to think positively of ourselves? (Let no one think more highly of himself than he aught), says Paul.

Your play on words my have some people think that you really know something when in fact the weaker of the Christian faith you may cause to doubt. Take Paul, if it hadn't been for him you wouldn't even have this blog. So I think Paul reached even farther then Athens. You are a smart guy, I will give you that, but you really need to be careful when it comes to what you call a failure as compared to what God may call a failure. I just can't find in the word of God that says that Jesus ever failed. In Christ Gary Staggs How do you really think that any of these men failed.

I learned, or am still learning, that you must treat people with respect, whether you agree with them or not. Who is to say that in 5 years, you may start to agree with them, and they no longer agree with themselves? Failure does tend to change our minds, when other methods of persuasion fail.
