I would venture that if you haven't failed, you're not trying hard enough. Ultimately, the people who challenge themselves continually end up hitting that wall where their ambitions are unmatched with their ability. It is one's ability to learn from those failures and carry on that distinguishes successful people from the others.

The interesting thing is also in the example you bring up. Like you, I failed (or "didn't succeed" which I consider a better point of view as it forces me to try again, using the learning from the previous failure to adapt my approach) during the dotcom crash. The interesting thing is, that crash actually prepared me much better for the current financial crisis. The sense of panic that existed during the last cycle as our whole industry was undergoing creative destruction seems gone nowadays, replaced by a more positive attitude that will result, hopefully, in a better riding of the current tumultuous waters we've encountered.

Brad,

That's the way it works in France (the 50% and multiple turns). Also, you should make sure that election day is a national holiday so that everyone can vote.
