People are generally prone to what language expert S.I.Hayakawa calls "the two-valued orientation." We talk about seeing both sides of a question as if every question had only two sides.We assume that everyone is either a success or a failure when,in fact,infinite degrees of both are possible.As Hayakawa points out,there's a world of difference between "I have failed three times" and "I am a failure." Indeed,the words failure and success cannot be reasonably applied to a complex,living,changing human being.They can only describe the situation at a particular time and place.
