I want to share a quote I discovered recently from Gary Ryan Blair (no idea if it's his or not) that pretty much sums up your entire article on type A and type B failures: "The price of success is temporary discomfort, but the price of failure must be paid forever." The price of success is the type A failure - nothing is ever going to go perfectly. Face the fact that there will be some road bumps along the way; pay your 'dues' so-to-speak. The price of failure is the type B failure mentioned in this article. It robs you of everything and turns you into a shell of the person you once were - nasty stuff indeed! Type A or type B: the choice is yours. Great post.
