Quote by Michael Korda
This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of finding happiness in success. While happiness is the ultimate goal, success can be a significant contributor towards it. It suggests that if someone cannot find joy in achieving their goals and being successful, they are unlikely to find genuine happiness in failure. Success, therefore, becomes the closest alternative to experiencing true happiness, challenging the notion that failure can provide a more profound sense of fulfillment.
