I heard something on the radio the other day as it applied to entrepreneurs/creative people and I think it works for other things as well, "You either win, or you learn." God knows I have learned far more by fucking up than I have by getting it right.

Said by one of my buddies after the 4th Infantry laid waste to Mosul (?) in the early days of the war: "It's hard to be a terrorist when you're on fire."

Your only as good as your last plate. Doesn't matter how many times you accomplished the goal, the only memory is your last mistake.

Military Intelligence and Military Counter-Intelligence are the same thing, only applied by different users of the same information. Both can be right or wrong.
