Living in a world full of risk and failure, it's inevitable that we'll come face-to-face with it; it's what we learn from confronting failure that matters most, which is why we love Tina Seelig's introduction of the idea on the failure resume.

Turmeric, the vibrant spice that gives curries and mustards their yellow color, contains antioxidants, relieves joint pain and is known to ease digestion.
