I was interested in political failure here in the U.S. The way we're failing to work together to solve even our smallest problems, let alone the complex ones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't need to be looking at every failure of government, I need to be looking where failure of government needs reform.
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
The U.S. increasingly has taken on the characteristics of what we describe as 'failed states.'
Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail, the whole world knows about it.
I think one of the biggest political failures, and the biggest social failures, over the past few years has been the failure of empathy; not being able to look at the other person down the street.
Politically there were failures. And also on the personal level, there were tremendous failures.
Failure is inevitable; it happens all the time in a complex economy.
Failing doesn't have to mean not succeeding. It can be, 'Hey we tried that. We can go forward, smarter.'
What America does best is produce the ability to accept failure.
We need some great failures. Especially we ever-successful Americans - conscious, intelligent, illuminating failures.
