Would that mean that your failure was impossible?

“Good point!” I exclaimed. “If I didn’t set the goal, then I wouldn’t ever consider an inability to achieve it a failure. So, let me revise my definition: The inability to accomplish a goal that I have established.”

Dick was drinking room-temperature water. His reason had albania telegram data something to do with cold water impeding digestion. I wondered if that also applied to beer but I hadn’t yet asked him.

“But, what if you never establish any goals?” he continued.

I was pondering the answer to that when our food arrived.

“Chicken panini?”

“That’s me,” I said. “Hey, Dick, why don’t you ask the waitress?”

“Ask me what?” the waitress inquired politely although I noticed her smile was fading fast.

“How do you define failure?” Dick asked.

“Oh, I don’t believe in failure.” The smile was back and then the waitress was gone.

“I don’t think that’s a definition as much as it is a philosophy,” I opined as I took a bite of my pressed sandwich. “After all, just because you don’t believe in something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

Dick had dismantled his sandwich and was eating the pastrami with a knife and fork.

“Why did you get a sandwich if you weren’t going to eat the bread?” I asked.

“Because they won’t let you order just a stack of pastrami,” Dick replied as he stabbed a square of his spiced meat. “Now back to the question of failure.”

“I don’t know. It seems there is a difference between ‘failure’ and ‘being a failure’.”

“How so?”
