I just got interviewed in the State News and the reporter kept asking me these same questions about getting over failure. I told her I have never failed, not even one time. from my beef jerky enterprise in high school all through college, I just made adjustments.

I gave her an anecdote about selling pink and yellow lemonade, and if i was selling way more pink than yellow, yellow lemonade didnt 'fail' my feelings wernt hurt, it wasnt a personal feat that made me rise up above it. I just adjust.

She didnt really like the answer so asked me again, and none of it made it in the paper.
