Pick Them Back Up

(YouTube link)

An article at the Daily Beast entitled Fail Fast, Fail Often: How Losing Can Help You Win explains how doing something over and over, even though you make numerous mistakes, is better than sweating over every detail of fewer attempts. The secret is learning from your failures, which you can't do if you never fail.

The ad Proctor & Gamble produced for the Sochi Olympics illustrates exactly that point. It's the practice and the failures that get you to the top. Get a hankie, since it may make you go all verklempt inside. You'll probably see a shorter version of this on TV quite a bit over the next month. -via Uproxx

British satirical magazine Private Eye has had a feature like this for years. They tend to be British political and pop culture figures, but they're often hilarious. They make it more funny by swapping the names under the pictures:

(hint: change the 110 at the end of the URL to go back and look at the old entries.)
