What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

I am going to answer this question because I am guaranteed not to fail. This question was written at silly goose University by a grad student who was taking a pass fail course.

  • I think I’ll make myself a cup of coffee that is easy enough. Well, I ended up too weak and I spilled some on the dog.
  • I think I’ll hop on the train here at Stadtzuntrum and head over to Neukölln. What can go wrong. East west is difficult in the new city.
  • My New Year’s resolution last year was to eat more spring onions.
  • I think I’ll run 4 miles today. Oh my foot hurt hurt now I did three.
  • I’ve made this vegan chili 100 times before I can do it blindfold. Well that knife is sharp.
  •  I think I will brush my teeth what could go wrong? who put the dog toothpaste on the sink?
  •  I’m gonna take it easy and do nothing today, here I am answering this question.

See I even failed at answering this question. The art of doing something is the art of failing. That’s how we learn that’s how we grow.

One of these above, you can’t fail at, as all you need to do is be good at poor goal setting.

    This was such a delightful and clever read! 😄 Your humor, self-awareness, and playful storytelling made me smile from start to finish. I love how you turned a simple question into a witty reflection on the beauty of imperfection and learning through trial and error. The everyday moments — from coffee spills to chili mishaps — perfectly capture the charm of being human. And that closing line about “being good at poor goal setting” is pure brilliance! 💫 You’ve turned failure into art and laughter into wisdom — absolutely wonderful. ☕🐾🌿

    Thank you so very much, that’s how life is there’s always a little funny and almost everything, a little bit of beauty and a little bit of kindness

    We are also very very human and we make mistakes and that’s the fun part of living life .

    This is so insightful!

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
