    Nice article. Its true that failures are best motivation to reach heights. Its an irony that facebook itself bought them at last that too one of the second biggest acquisition after HP-Compaq deal.

    Love the article, it’s so true. How can you appreciate victory if you don’t know how crummy failure tastes? 😀
