Tell us about your biggest failure.
I think the term “biggest failure” is relative to the circumstances in which it is set. We are human. We all want to know a person’s “biggest” failure as well and the biggest success, too. However, I think the only time you truly fail is when you cannot or simply refuse to learn from your experiences, including the mistakes. I prefer to think that most experiences teach me something and I develop a clearer perspective.
