Conan O'Brien commencment speech and Mark Edmundson's "Glorious Failure"

In 2011 Conan O'Brien offers a commencement address to Dart Mouth University, and in his address he talks about his huge public disappointment as a late night TV host. In 2010 there was conflict Involving O'Brien and Jay Leno about becoming a fifth host because both of their contracts were being extended. The Tonight Show remained O'Brien's and Leno got his own show " The Jay Leno Show". In the end both shows failed to attract viewers and there rating dropped horribly. So the reason O'Brien talks about his disappointment in his speech because he was telling the graduates that failing is not bad, instead it takes failure to become successful, so Conan's speech is similar with Mark Edmundson's "Glorious Failure" because Edmundson uses famous writer's who all failed at something, nut in the end they became successful later in their lives. Also, Conan's address and Edmundson's "Glorious Failure" both gave us examples of what, why, and how him and other famous people became successful after failing in an event in their lives, and how failing is just another chapter in their lives to successful. So in conclusion I have told you how and why Mark Edmundson's "Glorious Failure"  and Conan O'Brien's commencement speech to Dart Mouth University are similar because they both state and explained by example why in order to become successful you must fail at something in life.
