An article at the Daily Beast entitled Fail Fast, Fail Often: How Losing Can Help You Win explains how doing something over and over, even though you make numerous mistakes, is better than sweating over every detail of fewer attempts. The secret is learning from your failures, which you can't do if you never fail.

The ad Proctor & Gamble produced for the Sochi Olympics illustrates exactly that point. It's the practice and the failures that get you to the top. Get a hankie, since it may make you go all verklempt inside. You'll probably see a shorter version of this on TV quite a bit over the next month. -via Uproxx

Ear infection is a common cause of this kind of behaviour, you can see by the distinctive head tilt. It could be trying to use the wheel, but is too disoriented and keeps missing it. Recommend hydration and a prescription of antibiotics. Unless it's a brain tumour, inbred white mice get those sometimes and there's naught you can do about it.
