To fail or not to fail, that is the question, can we learn anything from failure? Let's find out![1]I was going to replace some instruments, an instrument panel on my UAZ[2]and it turned out that the new instruments weren't exactly the same and things didn't work. So I changed them back, back to the old ones and nothing, completely dead. So I started with the... I don't know what it's called in English, this instrument,[3]to find the mistake, obviously there was some electric mistake. And I was working my butt off to find what I would assume was a short circuit or something like that. None of the fuses were gone, everything was fine, I couldn't understand what was wrong. I watched YouTube videos, I learned a lot about ignition switches and I thought it was the ignition switch because the lights couldn't be turned on on the car. But nothing happened when I turned the switch. It could have been that, but eventually after so much work and, I would call it research, on the electricity of the car, I finally found the problem and fixed it. And it turned out that it was just me connecting something the wrong way. I made a mistake. Now if I had not made that mistake I would have saved me a lot of frustration but I would not have learned as much as I did because I failed. Because I made a mistake. And that's the reality of life you learn by success but you learn more by failure. And I say, roleplaying game designer, I think that maybe I should have included that in my roleplaying game: experience points for failure.[4][5]
- Thulêan Failure.
- My UAZ, that is. Not my VAZ. I have a video where i SUCCESSFULLY

- Don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying and doing. And if you fail? Learn, correct and go on better than you were before.
- Don't ALWAYS or ONLY fail though.
