An idea from Thus Spoke Zarathustra

The best people who show up are all partial failures, and they are told so to their faces. Half-shattered, half-succeeded, aiming at something they cannot reach. That is not the bad news. Learn to laugh at yourselves the way you ought to laugh.

From Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
