Do You Feel Bad When You Know Somebody Is Doomed To Failure? - GoFuckYourself.com

or do you just think it's survival of the fittest and c'est la vie for the doomed?

i see a ton of doomed projects and I do feel bad, can't tell you how many times people have hit me up for exclusive content and I've told them to forget it that with what I know about them and what they are planning they are doomed.

Dude I told you I'd be fine. Relax.

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.It builds character and you learn from your mistakes

fuck 'em...

Depends on the person I guess. If they welcome failure by giving up or not trying... then they get no sympathy.
If they keep encountering failure regardless of anything they do... then yes, I feel bad for them.

Sometimes even perseverance isn't even enough.

yes, you do need to learn from your mistakes

I give my advice and from there it is up to them. Some people just need to fail for themselves.

RRRED · 11-09-2006, 07:36 PM

I get excited when I see someone that's about to make a huge mistake or throw everything into the shitter. People who DON'T fail, will never appreciate the things that are truely important.

I do feel bad though when people make the same screw ups over and over and over again and don't even realize maybe they should make a change. When their own failures are always someone elses fault.

They say every succesful entrepreneur fails three times before making it. There are always the exceptions to the rule, guys like Bill Gates, but the norm are guys like Edison who had thousands of failures before success. Feel what you want. You may someday be working for one of these failures.

let them fail and concentrate on your own stuff.

The best lessons learned are learned by making expensive mistakes
