I'm just a number. I fall. I hurt. I wonder. I'm just a number. I've loved. I've lived. I'll die. But Lord knows I've tried to be more than just a number. In 1984, I was an ...

Failure can echo in our minds, overshadowing every victory, every compliment, and every moment of joy.In a world that often celebrates success, failure makes us question our worth.
