Because you have to keep on going. If you lose your job, you must find another or you will not eat or have a roof over your head.

Because, if failure was an option, we wouldnt make the effort. Whether it is school work or business projects, there is a goal for each individual, and we make the effort to reach it. It would be a waste of time doing anything in life if our attitude was that failure is acceptable.
Dont misunderstand, failure is ok, once we tried. We did our best !!? I think!!

Do you mean why others treat differently (with less respect, maybe) the people who haven't managed to suceed? Well, that's because they have always considered success to be the most important thing in life. However, once got there they need to be reminded of it every day. So, what do they do? They treat less successful people as rubbish merely to confirm their superiority. In my opinion, success is relevant. Assume for example, that you have just finished law school. You are very clever, indeed, but, you just don't want to spend the rest of your life acquitting criminals. You just wish to live a peaceful life in the country breeding sheep. Is this failure? It's not that you CAN'T go to court and start lying to people; you just DON'T WANT to, because something like that, would be against your moral sense. And that my friend, is the difference between failure and conscious choice. Hope this helps. Take care.

That depends on who you ask. For some people failure is an option. For some people it is not. It is an internal decision. If you say failure is not an option than technically speaking, you cannot fail.

Failure is not an option, it is an opinion. Purely a matter of perspective. Those without perspective see failures. Failure cannot exist with perspective.

Who says it isn't an option? I know of no one who has done great things that hasn't failed. Just look at Edison. The important thing is to learn from failures.

It is always an option. Failure is not the end of all things. Perseverance is the key!

I don't believe that. Failures are the stepping stones to success. Everyone is bound to fail once in a while, and if you take it in the right spirit, it can only do good to you.

It depends on what you call failure. To me, if you try something but don't achieve the end you're looking for, at least you've tried.
Nothing wrong with that.

If you make failure one of your options, and then you act in such a way as to fail, then you will have achieved one of your options, in which case you have succeeded, so you haven't failed...
