This is gonna sound disgusting, but right now, I want to fail. I'm in high school, if I don't learn a few good lessons now, what's gonna happen in 5 years? T he stakes will get higher, and I'll really be a loser. I don't think losing makes you a loser. I think allowing yourself to submit, allowing yourself to subordinate in fromt of a challenge or an opponent, that's a real loser.

Failing is invaluable to me, especially because its so damn taboo. It's 100% vital! Now that you know people won't buy your highway maps (which, by the way, awesome work), you have to come up with something else! There's an argument to be made about the lack of second chances in life, but that says nothing about the abundance of opportunity, everywhere, for which failure only forces you to search for. Good luck man, keep making shit.
