You can learn a lot from failing at something. It’s kind of the whole deal with babies. They just try stuff and fail until they don’t fail and then they store that information in their brains. It’s why they’re always putting stuff in their mouths. 

Adults kind of do this too, but in a different way. You know this if you’ve ever tried to impress someone. You might try out some of your usual tactics, stories, fun facts, and jokes. Some of these might land, and some of these might not. Then you move on to the second-tier tactics, trying new things to see if it inspires any light behind their eyes. Then you find one thing that they laugh at, and ride it until the wheels fall off. This is how we learn what it takes to impress someone. By failing and failing and failing again. Just like these images.
