The dictionary definition of the word ‘failing’ is ‘being unable to achieve what one intends or being unable to complete one’s goals or plans.’ Upon closer inspection of this definition, we can see that failures are instances that only occur when we intend to do something, set goals, or make some sort of attempt.
