A different perspective on "failure"

A failure provides you with information that you need in order to succeed. 

This is not a plea for us to abandon all planning. If you research your goal, use networking to learn from others who have succeeded at what you'd like to do, and created a number of contingencies should you encounter difficulties and that planning leads to you succeeding...great! However it doesn't always go smoothly, and it's a good idea to be a good sport about that, and being sure not to make the same big mistake twice.

Perfection is not the goal. Reaching your goal as quickly as possible is the goal. 

Mistakes are just another way of learning.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. —Thomas Edison
