Summary

This quote suggests that achieving success may be the result of chance or circumstances, rather than a reflection of one's true character. The real measure of strength lies in having unwavering self-belief without any doubts. While success can be attributed to external factors, having confidence in oneself and maintaining a steadfast nature are qualities that define one's character. In other words, attaining success can be accidental or fleeting, but having innate character and self-assurance is more valuable and durable.
