Abstract
Humans have a natural tendency to categorise their actions as ›successes‹ or ›failures‹, and to focus on the former. This is true despite that fact that outside some few highly formalised contexts the meanings of these two terms are unclear and also, at best, ambiguous. Furthermore, in very many domains of human life failures turn out to be more interesting and more important than ostensible successes.
