It is easy to become dissuaded when things do not go as planned, but this quote encourages us to look beyond the surface and recognize that failure is not always a bad thing and success is not constantly a good idea. It is necessary to keep in mind that failure can result in growth and success can lead to complacency. We ought to aim to discover balance in our lives and recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all meaning of success or failure. Instead, we must concentrate on our own individual objectives and strive to reconcile every situation.
