Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo offered some wisdom for a happy life this week; saying Americans must experience failure to understand success.

“You must fail to ever understand success,” began Pagliarulo. “Even if the failure is unfair, that doesn’t change it. You must grow from that.”

“I’m talking about fairness in life. Sometimes you just don’t get everything you desire. You have to try harder next time,” he added.

“If truly there’s fraud, or somebody was cheating, then we can go and take action. If there’s nothing you can do about it, take a breath, retool, and then try again next time,” he added.

“This is a good life lesson,” concluded Pags.
