Success and Failure: which teaches us more?

So I'm a big fan of Glenn Beck. Not only do we share the same faith, but he is an honest guy who treats everyone with integrity and respect, but he doesn't give a pass to people of his own political views either.

He did an interview a while ago with now-impeached Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, and said that while he believed he was guilty, he thought Gov. Blagovich should've been able to present a defense. He followed that up with another interview with Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, someone Glenn respects and shares faith with, but was quite upset that Sen. Hatch voted for the acceptance of Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary, saying that although Geithner may be the most well-qualified man for the job, his tax evasion was too dishonest, and our country's need for honesty was more dire than the need for financial strength.

Anyways, what I wanted to share was his interview with Chris Gardner, who inspired the movie The Pursuit of Happyness. It's an awesome movie and, as is always the case, an even better story. The point is that in the pursuit of success, there will always be some failures, and through those failures we are taught how to be better and more successful. So, here's the interview.

(edit---the previous video was removed from youtube by the user, so I found another video in two parts as follows)
