The Distinction Between Failure and Fiasco
Drew Baylor
As somebody once said, there's a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-present of success. Any fool can accomplish failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others, that makes other people feel more... alive. Because it didn't happen to them.

Choosing Clarity in Relationships

This guy should be right here, right now, doing this.

The Value of Pursuing Ambitious Goals
Drew Baylor
No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: Those who risk, win. A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life.
