What do you think this poem is about?

A Failure Is No Flop

A Failure Is No Flop
For it is also just as important
To know the things
That cannot be done
As it is for those that can.

For if no one ever discovered
The things that can not be done
And separate them from their successes
Then no one would know
The things that could.
