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.
