| Abstract: | Times are changing: failure is now the new success. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the world of celebrities, where having one or two failures behind you - the more spectacular, the better - is a smart career move. The author of the article states that effortless achievement has no place in these tougher times. We're more impressed by those who bear the visible scars of lost battles. The author identifies this 'failure chic' as a backlash against mindless optimism. The paper provides an inset "How to flop with flair". In this inset the paper provides a number of advices: Fail with a bang, not a whimper; Reflect on and learn from your disaster; Don't let one flop stop you from trying again. |
