Curious to walk, a toddler falls while trying to figure out his steps, a pregnant woman huffs and puffs dejectedly while trying to push the baby during delivery.
These failures are essential. The failure helps the toddler eventually find the balance and the failure guides the mother to finally take a deep breath and push enough to bring her baby into this world.

Furthermore we have to learn from them in order to move forward just a tad bit wiser. Regarding the less fortunate events, is that even fair? Taking two...
Because we already know that Life is Short and Doers follow their Dreams. But with the mundaneness of life, sometimes we need a reminder. Where are we going? Why are we going? What is our purpose? Sometimes our thinking is rather uninspired and not really positive. Life throws curveballs and we may feel defeated and just off. But this is life and it would be abnormal if we weren't knocked down, sometimes, throughout our ride. We do our best to get up and to get back into the game.
