Unfortunately too many people do not know what failing is. Participation trophies and awarded for showing up always piss me off a bit.

Except for running a marathon or the Olympics failing and coming in second place is not winning. A agree with you 100% that even becoming the first looser is infinitely more rewarding than the one who never at least tried. The effort is important and in its way a major accomplishment, but still a failure and learning how to handle, accept and overcome that is a needed life lesson.
