W+K's message here? We had 351 hours of precious human time available that could have been directed towards valuable, enriching, creative work -- but instead, we chose to waste it on a boring, repetitive, non-creative gimmick. Great.
it looks more like labor than art to me - it's neat looking and all but there is no correlation between failure and thumbtacks so there's no lvl of irony or playfulness to it. neway props to the kids that spent all the time on it cuz it came out looking nice
For the idiots that can't comprehend the phrase 'Fail Harder'; simply put, if you aren't failing your aren't taking enough risks to achieve full potential. Regardless of the situation; in this case the creative advertising field. There are plenty of articles on 'Failure tolerant leadership', the concept that those who are working the hardest will likely have the most failures but also the most successes and the greatest degree of knowledge gained from failed attempts at accomplishment.
its common knowlage that the human brain can not cope with failure and their-go failing more means making yourself more depresseed which in turn makes you do worse. so seems as your so intelligent tell me where the sense in it is?
and as for success rates its been proven that making someone feel important or that they are achiving actual improves their performance, its the "carrot or stick" theory, and i know its not the same for all!
what a wanker you are!! its simple, fail and you feel bad, got it now? so what if i spell things wrong, so what if the grammar is bad. my point is still valid!
and its knowing through out that those who have no point pick on thing irrelevant to the argument, work that for yourself!
The idea is not about insult, it's about productive practice. If you have a constant fear of failing, like most humans, you will never make anything great. Most great works came from many failed attempts and this is just encouraging you to go there in hopes of making something great yourself.
thanks, that makes much more sense than the what "Empiricalkant" wrote, who i replied too. It was his explanation of this phrase that i disagreed with.
Awesome. Simply awesome. The most beautiful thing to me is that all the nasty comments prove the point. Over and over. As Hunter Thompson would say, "...Piss down the throats of those Losers."
Awesome!~ Very Nice and artistic. I like it. If you do it again-you should right something worthwhile that people actually get you know? No inside jokes or group names or anything but something like happy anniversary or will you marry me or something. Cool idea though-still love it!
I get what it means but there are actually people who don't know everything in the world who like explanation. I like helping those people out by not being afraid to ask questions. Got a problem with it?
wouldnt it suck if someone walked in there with a cup of coffee in their hand and stepped on a thumbtack and were like "OHH SHIT!" and spilled the coffee all over the wall right when they were almost done
Why yes, we did just spend our last 10 weekends writing out "Fail Harder" in thumb tacks. We did all that just so we could see the comments that people posted that say "FUCK" and "DOUBLE NIGGER" because thats what were here for!
Wow, a HUGE waste of time, i want 2:35 of my life back plz.
