It's official. My brother hates us.
I've officially declared that there is no hope in him seeing the light. He refuses to listen and labels us a lost cause.

Tolerate him and move on, we can't expect 100% assimilation rate.
He said, "That's nowhere close enough, but it's a damn good start."

Failure isn't enjoyable, but it's part of life. Everyone makes mistakes. And your friends can help you cope with it.
That should be a lesson in an episode, dont you think? :l

^ I think that would make a good lesson for the show, especially since it has truth to it.

Plus, it's a good way to teach kids that reality is a cruel and harsh bitch.

In House Ordos, failure means that the Executrix will invoke the termination clause of your contract.
In other words, you will be EXTERMINATED.
Also, RAINBOW DASH IS BAWSS.

^In reponse to what you said about rainbow dash: Tell me something I don't know.
Speaking of the failure lesson, if they were to make an episode with that aesop, which charector do you think it would involve? I think it would either be Twilight, Rainbow Dash or Applejack.

Pinkie.
IIRC, she's the only one who hasn't been on the brink of failure with something (Lesson Zero for Twilight, A Bird in the Hoof for Fluttershy, The Art of the Dress for Rarity, Sonic Rainboom for Rainbow Dash, and Applebuck Season for Applejack). Pinkie's breakdown was becasue she thought her friends were avoiding her, not becasue she thought she was failing at anything (besides being a good friend, maybe?). Maybe have an episode where she tries to cheer somepony up after they've failed at something (I'm just making this up on the spot here, cut me some slack). She tries to help them and they both fail. So they try again. And again, and again. The she realizes that you can't succeed at everything and sometimes you have to move on from your failures.
And who knows? Sometimes when you fail, things turn out better than if you had actually succceeded.
But, you know... *shrug*

Hadn't exactly the episode now Pinkie nearly failing at something?
Also, she fails as stage comedian

I don't know. Didn't see it. I'm only up to Sweet and Elite.
But she hasn't broken down because of it. It would have to be something that she cares a lot about. A bust of a party? But who doesn't like Pinkie Pie's parties?
