Summary

This quote highlights the idea that to truly appreciate and value something, one must have experienced both great successes and devastating failures. By experiencing the extreme highs and lows in life, one gains a greater perspective and understanding of what truly matters. It suggests that going through both ends of the spectrum provides the necessary contrast and perspective to fully appreciate and cherish the things we have, as well as the lessons learned from difficult times.
