The man went to the CEO’s office to report that the $100,000 project was not going to work out.  Fearing loss of confidence, demotion and worse, he apologized for failing the important project.  The CEO wisely replied, “It wasn’t a $100,000 failure. If it had worked, we would have made millions but it didn’t.  Turns out I only paid $100,000 to find that out it.  Sounds like a bargain.”

Shots on goal are the only ones that score.
