Museum of Accomplishments

Is it best to put on display your failures or your accomplishments? A Vancouver resident Evvan Collin decided to cope with a personal heartbreak by creating an exhibit in a shopping mall that is entitled “The Museum of Personal Failure.” He invited others to submit artifacts. One person exhibited a wedding dress from a failed marriage, tie rods from a blotched car repair, and a wall of rejection slips filled with firing notices of people who had been fired or failed a job application. Collin says that such a museum is an attempt to deal with failure. I think I would like to see a museum of accomplishments and inspiration to help people focus less on today’s problems and more on tomorrow’s possibilities. To what kind of museum would you contribute today?
