I love it because I love a good challenge and to overcome adversities. I had a pretty tough life and especially a couple years ago things were pretty grim and dark, but throughout my failures I realized a couple of important things, and those realizations landed me a great job, several fun hobbies, my own house, and tomorrow my 3rd date with a girl I really like. Mind you, I'm autistic with a social handicap, so go figure. ;)<br/><br/>If I didn't had so much failures I wouldn't be able to appreciate my successes either though. I simply can't appreciate if I didn't have to work my ass off for it first and had at least some difficulty obtaining it. ^_^
