   I personally think every one in the world is talking,writing and teaching or lecturing about success,why not tell us the things which when done would make us failures...what do you think?

      Plenty of people know how to fail on their own, so not much of a need to write a "how to" book

         True, but they don't know why they are failing.  Can't seem to find their way home.

      This is a very interesting idea, I suppose the obvious thing for me would be thinking that taking out a mobile phone when having a drink can sometimes mean that you are in a lot of trouble the next morning. Anyone else had that?

      It's easier to step down! That's called a spontaneous process! So, does someone really need any tutorial?

         My mistake. I meant to write 3, 4, 5. It is a package deal because I represent Being love being peace being free. Thank you.

   Why would anyone want to know how to fail...you just have to do nothing and you can be the best there is.. Its only when you do something thing worthwhile that you need to talk about it and may be pass on the knowledge.
   
   I for one would never want to learn how to fail.. unless of course it does tell me how to rise from the ashes.
