Failure and questions - the essence of life?

I've been thinking a lot about questions lately. I spend a lot of time wondering about education and how people learn things (I'm a teacher). I have come to the conclusion that the key to learning is questions.

Interestingly, until you fail at a task it is unlikely that you will really have any questions. For instance, if my site were making money hand over fist, I probably wouldn't wonder how to make it a better site. But if little or no money is coming out of the site, I am consumed with questions and am motivated to improve it.

Would we ever learn anything new if we never failed?

I'll make that my question for the day.
