Mahatma Gandhi did. This is what he had to say about the subject…

“My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.”

There was an article published in the United Kingdom this past August, titled, You’re a Failure…Now Get Over It! I really liked it…and wanted to share the basic premise, with a excerpt from the article:

Uninterrupted success is less satisfying than success intertwined with failure. That is not rocket science – even if, ironically, American rocket scientists have just reached the same conclusion as the Frenchman.
 
A study at the University of Colorado Denver Business School, drawing on data from satellite launches and space shuttles, concludes that success may be sweeter, but failure is the better teacher.

God, the Universe, the All-That-Is (whatever you want to label that power which is all encompassing) gives us each experiences that shape us into better human beings. Those include both successes and failures. It can be no other way. So embrace failure, as readily as you do your achievements. Every experience is worth something!
