My views on the above are somewhat different in that we can achieve happiness if in fact we DO learn from our failures and heartaches and bear them in mind when we make important decisions in the future, e.g. with future jobs or relationships. The trick, to me, is to learn not to feel bitter about them rather than to erase them from memory.
