I didn’t make the final cut of the varsity basketball team. 2. I didn’t get the blue ribbon at the county fair (I only got the yellow ribbon). 3. I almost blew the client presentation by missing the FedEx deadline to send off the materials . . . but at the last minute I saved the day by chasing down the FedEx truck! 4. I didn’t get into Princeton, but I’m really glad I ended up at Georgetown. 5. I got a D in art history.
