​    FaileD

My name is David Faile.  FYI...It's not easy having the name Faile.  As a kid, I always made sure people knew my last name ended with an "e." I would really get discouraged when filling out those forms that required your last name first followed by your first initial. Have you put it together yet?  FaileD.  How's that for a self-esteem booster?  

 

Every Sunday when my family goes to church, my poor kids have to hear a lighthearted senior adult shouting, "Here come those FAILURES!"  And my wife's had to live with it for 25 years!  What's worse is that she's a teacher. How do you think her students feel on the first day of class when she has to introduce herself as Mrs. FAILE?  I'm sure you get the picture.  My name is a gift that keeps on giving. 

 

Through the years. I've learned to love my name.  I like it so much, it's the name of my blog.  Napoleon Hill said "Every failure carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit."  If that's the case, I figure I'll have plenty to share.  

 

So welcome to my "FaileD" blog.  I hope you enjoy my simple stories and whimsical wanderings.  Be blessed and stay in touch!
