An optimistic way of looking at life: Making lemonade from lemons!

Have to mention, though, that the Failures article references "Thomas Alvin Edison"; the great inventor's middle name actually was "Alva" (not that I'd want either one)!

This, however, has led to the education of the readership of Edison's real middle name. Hence the article's failure has led to success. How meta.
