Congratulations on your grant! The topic of your grant reminds me of my own deep interest in (wait, is anybody monitoring this channel??) ID, and the fact that nearly everything we have ever achieved in engineering is already found, at least in concept if not in actual design and perfect execution, in the creation. Your topic for today's post is one which has been my Achilles heel all my life, which is that I have been scared to death of failure, but incurred it anyways along the way and hopefully learned from it. What doesn't help me is that some of my greatest career-related successes involved little if any failure. This doesn't help me because where my dreams are headed today, I need to get used to failure if I'm going to succeed. This is hard for me, but your post sheds a glimmer of hope.
