I want to be a successful failure

Studying for a midterm. I'm going to fail. But that is okay, because i'm going to succeed at failing. If i set out to do that, and i actually do fail, i will have suceeded. It's all your state of mind. This is a fool proof theory.
besides failing might be character building, it'll put me back in my place... yep. i should just fail. If try to fail and i succeed, then i will have suceeded and thus even though i failed, i will have been successful.
Maybe i shouldn't even bother studying
