Edited Sunday, August 22, 2004 at 2:05 AM For whatever reason, when I was labeling that show, Adam saying, "Most people spend the majority of their lives planning to fail, yet never actually failing..." stuck in my head. It was a nice commentary on the innate sense of pessimism that tends to unconsciously pervade the lives of most human beings. For whatever reason, human nature (in many cases) tends to err in favour of self-destruction as opposed to self-preservation. Adam's "never fail" speech served as a nice reminder to consciously over-ride that negative impulse.
(edited to add)
Sorry if some of these titles come off as a little vague -- the title ultimately serves as a keyword to jog my memory in reference to the show's contents. As evidenced in this particular case, if I were to put what I was actually thinking, the title would be more of a paragraph and less of a catch phrase or key word, and hence, I tend to settle for generic simplicity over lengthy description.
