Just start failing upwards, that’s what I do. My motto is “what would a mediocre white man do in this situation?” And I just do that. (Hint: it works!)

Depends on the situation and how important that particular goal is to you.

Define failure in the specific situation?

🫤 sorry to hear this… Maybe try a new way at looking at it? Try to focus on the positive that DID come out of the situation. No successful person became successful without failing first. I wish you better luck in the future

NEVER! Failure is ONLY contributing to your progress. It also depends on what you consider "failure." I agree with EY 1 that "failing up" is inevitable as long as you keep trying!
Giving up is also what you consider it to be. If you actively and mindfully choose to move on for the betterment of your mind and soul... nobody can fault you for that... and if they do then poo poo on them.
Otherwise, if you have a goal... keep at it. NEVER give up. KEEP at it and don't take any little setback as a negitive but a POSITIVE b/c it teaches you what NOT to do and how to move forward and make progress. That's the only way I've continued to move up.

Depends on what you’re failing at.
If your goal is to get a new job. You can get a new job. If your goal is the get a new job with $X port year.
It all depends on what your focus is.

Fail? Those are learning experiences. Take each learning experience and keep trying.till you succeed and then keep trying till you surpass your original goal. Best of everything to you

You really made me think about this. I’m not sure what the goal is but the way I look at things is if I’m persistent with what I am looking for or trying to do, and I’m prepared the opportunity will arise. If I’m interviewing and my guts are telling me that I’m not really sure about this thing and then I don’t get it, I just confirmed that it wasn’t for me.
