Negatives happen, fails occur. They are not signals to quit in all instances, or even most. They are grist for our respective mills. You might have three months or thirty years experience in an industry but you’re going to make mistakes, you’re going to have failures. It is not the end of the world.

VPS Update – Need For Speed
