Beckett was such a depressing author... and now this: Try to fail better! well... I try for success... failure is not an option... is an outcome (sometimes)!!

IMO not exactly depressing, but kind of cynic realist. Me for myself interpretate this Fail as a point of others view (it also might be a moment of someone`s life, but not certain, and also their point at an exact moment) not as a real fail, but experience. In other words - his way to express is not one of these put in a frame, not popular (if I maight say so). Hope you can get my mind`s thread

I suppose I get your mentality...
It is a matter of point of view always
and experience can be obtained from anything...
Just that... his cynical realism is a frowned look over life...
and it is not my style!

There's no accounting for tastes.
