SO, TODAY IS Monday. Who’s feeling good about themselves?
Nobody? Right.
Here is a compendium of people who have turned their most cringe-inducing failings into epic victories. WE SHALL OVERCOME.
1. Just think of yourself as being like this gymnast pulling off an unbelievable save
2. Or this kid who is so brazen in his fail, he somehow walks it through
3. The total badass on the black inflatable, YOLO, no surrender
4. This guy who slept like a baby, eventually
5. This reveller who transformed a disastrous night into a world-beating headline
6. Whoever was behind the best warning sign of all time
7. Or maybe you’re a more straightforward fail-to-winner, like this guy
8. This penguin who stepped on the wrong rock, but played it unbelievably cool
9. Or this horse who turned ‘OH NO’ into ‘Ah, f*** this’
10. Maybe this amateur cook?
11. The guy who turned a potentially nasty injury into a showcase for his incredibly sturdy skin?
12. Or this person who narrowly avoided a terrible awakening when they used the wrong bathroom
13. There’s always this technician who realised he was in shot, and took beautifully athletic evasive action
14. And in a more public-spirited vein, this columnist who turned one person’s fail into a win for society
15. Finally, we are all this guy who miraculously escapes being run over, for a much more exciting fate.
