A word from Stephen Pile:
For all those writers of terrible books about how to be a
success,
I have written this book about how to be a
failure.
I
think it’s perfectly
all right to be a failure
because I am one and all my friends are, too.
INTRODUCTION
Success is not really important.
Everyone loves success. Everyone wants to do things
well. But we all know that people
are really good at
doing things badly. Failure is the thing that we are best
at. This is the difference between people and animals and
we must not think that failure is bad.
Of course,
some
people are successful — clever,
unusual
people like Einstein, Mozart, Steven Spielberg.
But this book is not for them. It is for us — people who
are not very good at anything and who make a lot of
mistakes.
Here in one book for the first
time are the well-known
names: the terrible Tito, the stupid Mountnessing
robbers, the unlucky Mr Hird, and many more. They are
all
