Summary

This humorous quote suggests that when faced with failure or embarrassment, one should hide all signs of their attempts and act as if nothing happened. It cynically acknowledges people's tendency to avoid admitting failure or taking responsibility for their mistakes. However, instead of encouraging resilience and learning from failure, it promotes a mindset of deception and avoidance of personal growth. While it may provide temporary relief, long-term progress and self-improvement are unlikely to be achieved by following this advice.
