Hello friends, especially to all the ladies of HIVE. :) I decided to join this week's

and will be sharing my answer and views on the second question.

QUESTION:

2️⃣ Do you consider failing to be less, equal, or more important than succeeding in life and why?

ANSWER:

To be honest, I don't know if failure is less, equal or more important than success. Being successful is subjective. What I consider a success may just be a normal thing for others, and vice versa.

However, what I firmly believe is that one can truly appreciate their success, regardless of what it is, after failing. Failures are merely stepping stones towards success. Is it necessary to fail? I don't think so... but success seems sweeter after failing and rising back up.
And oftentimes, through failing, we discover more valuable things. It's the same analogy with "The journey is more enjoyable than the destination."

Once we succeeded in something soon, we savor it for a bit... and then, what? Well,people are greedy, so they my aim higher each time. But if we failed multiple times before finally succeeding, we tend to look back and cherish every failure and the things we did after them to get to where we are.

A few days ago, we lost our house to the typhoon and flood.

It's not technically a failure, but somehow it felt like it. However, after several attempts, we finally succeeded finding a temporary place to stay. I've failed several times that day, but I just kept pushing and pushing...and with the help of some people around me, we somehow found the success we've been looking for on that particular day, which is shelter.

If I had found a solution easily, it would have been more comfortable... but I won't get to appreciate the experience and life lessons I've learned that day. That failure gave me a clearer understanding about how amazing life is, and how great it is to survive.

So yeah... in the end, I still don't know how to compare success and failure. What I do know is that success seems sweeter after conquering each failure!

Thanks for reading, and see you around!
