Why I think EVOKE network has not failed
The question that was troubling me for quite sometimes now is a post by Alchemy ‘Episode 3 STORY: Did the EVOKE Network fail?’ The mere utterance of word ‘fail’ always troubles me. I tried to dig deep to find this out. I have put it in my blog post. Fail may have meaning at primary stage as: be unsuccessful, ineffective, vain, unproductive, abortive, futile, fruitless, and disastrous.
At secondary stage, it may take the form of: useless, hopeless, and worthless.
At tertiary stage, it means: uncreative, idle, wasted, pointless, unrewarding, catastrophic, ruinous, and terrible.
Now since in one way of looking at EVOKE is a idea sharing platform. Any idea cannot be futile, hopeless, worthless, and uncreative.
Another way of looking at EVOKE is a show of unity. Hence, it cannot be useless, idle, wasted, and pointless.
Still other way of looking at it is empowering, hence it cannot be unsuccessful, vain, abortive, ineffective, unproductive, fruitless, unrewarding, and ruinous.
The other way of looking at EVOKE is positive thinking. So it cannot be terrible, disastrous, and catastrophic.
Overall at the core of the heart, EVOKE is the change for good; hence my answer to “Did the EVOKE network fail?” is a resounding NO.

@Pradip - Nice post - I agree with you that the Evoke Network that we all belong to did not fail. This ARG is thriving and doing well. However int he graphic novel, Eureka does fail in the mission to spread the home made windmills, even through she inspired the child at the end. And thats ok, because through failure we learn, we innovate and next time we try we have a better chance at success.
Failure is OK, as long as you learn from it and ...you don't make it a habit...
Namaste

Yes, and if we fail - let us fail hugely!
"Dream big and dare to fail." - Norman Vaughn
Norman Vaughn. Norman died just days after his 100th birthday. That he lived so long surprised none who knew him, for his was an indomitable spirit.
Norman left Harvard to lead Admiral Byrd’s dog teams on his expedition to Antarctica in the late twenties. He mushed dogs for the military, led daring rescue missions, even worked in advertising. He eventually landed in Alaska. Practically homeless, he performed menial jobs to get back on his feet and back on a sled. Norman would race in thirteen Iditarods — his first while in his seventies.
Norman scaled the summit of a mountain Byrd named for him in Antarctica just days shy of his 89th birthday.

I heartily suggest the Disney movie "Meet the Robinson's" as essential for any innovator, inventor, and agent of change. yes it is a animated movie but the lessons in it are timeless. "Keep moving forward"
oh and A Day with Wilbur Robinson is a 1990 children's picture book (slightly expanded for a 2006 reissue) written and illustrated by William Joyce is what the movie is based on and it's great as well.
