I get lots of ideas when the lights go out at night and it gets very quiet. Sometimes they come when I first lie down to sleep other times I wake up with an idea racing through my mind. But regardless of when an idea comes, I have made it a habit to get out of bed and write the idea down before it disappears into my dreams. You should do the same.

The usual devastating put-downs imply that a person is basically bad, rather than that he is a person who sometimes does bad things. Obviously, there is a vast difference between a bad person and a person who does something bad. Besides, failure is an event, it is not a person - yesterday ended last night.
