>>How can I avoid this sort of failure? It seems like all of these "failures" were related to your dependence on some other people. Once they gave up on you, you seemed to accept the effort as a "failure". I have two suggestions 1. Perhaps pick your partners a little more carefully 2. Work on a venture that doesn't depend on other people ...or at least don't give up immediately after your partners give up. imo suggestion-2 is the way to go, but perhaps you should also consider why you have always been dependent on other people for your success plans.
