Caveat: 실패는 성공의 어머니다

In my latest iteration of my efforts to study Korean: I’m doing some tutoring sessions on Saturday, a sort of language exchange.

I learned this proverb / saying:

실패는         성공의        어머니다
failure-TOPIC success-GEN mother-COP
Failure is the mother of success.

I think this makes sense. But failure is also the mother of more failure. And success can be the mother of more success. Not to be too gloomy. Call it the gene-mixing rule as applied to failure and success.

My notes from class (easy to take notes with a camera in your phone, right? – I learned that trick from my students):

What I’m listening to right now.

My Bloody Valentine, “Soon.”
