Winston Churchill once said, “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.” That's a nice sentiment—I mean, by and large it's good to let failure be a learning experience, to not let it discourage you from following your dreams. But…hear me out here: What if you're just a hot mess? What if every time you go from one failure to the next, you leave a pile of bodies in your wake? Can you be a little TOO good at failure? Should you sometimes maybe acknowledge “Hey, maybe this thing I'm trying to do isn't one of my strengths”? I think some of the people in this week's episode would have left the world a better place if they'd thrown in the towel.Registration is now open for CrimeWave 2.0!
