Hey 'Raptor, I hope you did better than your original prediction says - "fail flippin' proudly". I hope you succeeded in doing whatever it was you set out to do! Just keep in mind that failure is an event and not a person. It's not who you are; it's only what you admit to have done once you surrender. My advice in this situation is to do as the Spartans and/or the Samurai have historically done: "no surrender, no retreat".
