i thought the best part of the article was towards the end, where she talks about all the different ways that gymnasts have of redefining success.
i think it may be healthy to avoid doing that. like, don't say "well, my company failed, but the important thing is I tried unlike all those losers stuck in 9-5 jobs". or "i didn't get a tenure-track job but really, this job in industry is great and the important thing is my transferable research skills".
you still failed, and it's much more dignified to live with it.
