Change is an unsuspecting and finicky foe. You don't realize the strength of its grip until it's too late likewise is Failure. It is part of our lives.

Our instinct is to be ashamed of failure, maybe because we don't like how it makes us feel--humiliated, as though we have done something wrong. 

But if you can shift our perspective we sure can take the step ahead of being a Human!

With the perspective bringing to you the November issue of Storizen featuring English novelist, journalist, and broadcaster, Elizabeth Day.
