It’s so fascinating to learn that there’s a Museum of Failure! I believe we can learn more from failure than success, though it’s possible to take away the wrong lesson, namely that we should give up. I haven’t got a specific work story to share. I will just say in the worlds of journalism, teaching, blogging and recipe experimentation where I have dwelled, failure seems to be the requisite ingredient for ultimate success and creativity. How can we come up with something better if we didn’t first learn what didn’t work? As the saying goes, you have to break a lot of eggs to make a cake--and maybe drop a few too!☺️

Ruth, Wow. Love your lessons. This gives us a lot to ponder. The egg analogy is eggcellent!
Thanks, Julia--and of the 🥚cellent pun as well!
