An excellent insight
...and I went searching for a catchy quote I'd heard:
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
That's Samuel Beckett, an avant garde British playwright. Then I found some context, and realized this catchy quote isn't all the memes say it is.

...although after reading that analysis, I think I like Beckett's generally grim approach.
