You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
For me, disability is a way of getting some extremity, some kind of very difficult situation, that throws an interesting light on people.
I try to always stretch myself to fit the characters that have been presented.
