Seriously, how can you expect this kind of thinking to be "correctable"? When pretty much EVERY event in life is success or failure. You either pass the exam or you don't. You either get the job or you don't. Success = good. Failure = not good enough/bad. Of course one can say "failure is not the opposite of success, it'll only lead to success". Yeah right. Tell THAT to someone who hasn't got a response to any of his THOUSAND job applications...

(that's not me btw, that's someone who was on a newspaper just for failing a thousand job applications. she has a job now just because of her newspaper's campaign. jealous)
