What is the Taoist perspective on failure?

My personal reaction is:
Within a philosophy of acceptance,
In the larger sense there is no failure.
However, in living, in the moment, in being separated from each other, this question becomes very real. Differences from interpersonal relationships and the desire to focus in on details opens the possibility of failure to arise.
When focusing on oneself, on goals, on expectations, a person does set themselves up for both success and failure. Taking a Yin Yang approach means action can be broken into terms of success and failure.
When making an error, or experiencing a problem: accept the situation and then move to balance it with success.
