18 People Who’ve Mastered the Science of Failure, and We Just Want to Give Them a Hug

We are the masters of our own luck, according to a study. Because our good or bad fortune depends on our thoughts and behavior. But even if we try to keep things positive, life is not perfect. Epic or funny fails are bound to happen, and that’s okay because they teach us resiliency or at the very least, give us a good laugh.

Bright Side found 18 people who showed us what a “rough day” is like, and we wish we could give them a comforting hug.
