Quote by Kenneth Ewart Boulding

Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from failure.

Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. W

Summary

This quote suggests that success often leads to complacency and a lack of motivation to learn and grow. When we achieve success, we may become content and think that we have found the perfect solution or formula for success. However, this mindset inhibits our ability to continue learning and adapting to new challenges. Failure, on the other hand, forces us to reassess our strategies and approach, pushing us to learn from our mistakes and improve. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of embracing failure as a valuable learning opportunity.
