Sadly, Shuri Castle that dates from the Ryukyu era has burned to the ground in Okinawa. The World Heritage site was mostly made of wood.

Shuri Castle was probably built during the Gusuku period and used as a palace of the Ryukyu kingdom between 1429 and 1879. 

Throughout history, the castle has been burned and rebuilt many times. Hopefully, the castle will be rebuilt after the most recent fire.

Failure isn't always bad

This article, "Why We Should Learn To Embrace Failure" really resonated with me today. Elizabeth Day writes in The Guardian how we should learn to embrace failure. Failure is a starting point. There can be no success without it.

Day, a journalist and fiction writer, runs the podcast, How to Fail.

Day recommends Tim Harford's Adapt: Why Success Always Starts With Failure. 

Parents may want to look at Jessica Lahey's The Gift of Failure.

While its hard to look at failure as a gift, its ultimately more healthy to look at failure as an opportunity.
