How to find success with the 4 conditions of “intelligent failure”

Here is a classic pattern: you try really hard to do something GOOD, then you fail, or you make something silly. And it is the failures that people love, or the thing that was just a silly thing. So try to set yourself up to failure, to not doing the thing that is right, but the thing that just sort of happens when you are not trying.
