Ladies of Hive Community Contest #263: Does Failure Equal Success?
Hello friends, especially to all the ladies of HIVE. :) I decided to join this week's Ladies of Hive Community Contest and will be sharing my answer and views on the second question.
QUESTION:
2️⃣ Do you consider failing to be less, equal, or more important than succeeding in life and why?
ANSWER:
To be honest, I don't know if failure is less, equal or more important than success. Being successful is subjective. What I consider a success may just be a normal thing for others, and vice versa.
However, what I firmly believe is that one can truly appreciate their success, regardless of what it is, after failing. Failures are merely stepping stones towards success. Is it necessary to fail? I don't think so... but success seems sweeter after failing and rising back up.
And oftentimes, through failing, we discover more valuable things. It's the same analogy with "The journey is more enjoyable than the destination."
Once we succeeded in something soon, we savor it for a bit... and then, what? Well,people are greedy, so they my aim higher each time. But if we failed multiple times before finally succeeding, we tend to look back and cherish every failure and the things we did after them to get to where we are.
A few days ago, we lost our house to the typhoon and flood. You can check my post about it by clicking this sentence. It's not technically a failure, but somehow it felt like it. However, after several attempts, we finally succeeded finding a temporary place to stay. I've failed several times that day, but I just kept pushing and pushing...and with the help of some people around me, we somehow found the success we've been looking for on that particular day, which is shelter.
If I had found a solution easily, it would have been more comfortable... but I won't get to appreciate the experience and life lessons I've learned that day. That failure gave me a clearer understanding about how amazing life is, and how great it is to survive.
So yeah... in the end, I still don't know how to compare success and failure. What I do know is that success seems sweeter after conquering each failure!
Thanks for reading, and see you around!
I am sorry to hear of your loss of your home. That is a huge impact on you, your family, your emotions-the list goes on.
You are correct in stating that failures are indeed stepping stones to success. If nobody failed at anything, than how would anyone learn anything at all? It's about growth-does it hurt? Sometimes, yes, but the journey is definitely worth it.
Thank you for sharing and take care! !LADY !HOPE

Lamento mucho la pérdida de tu casa y espero que puedas conseguir una próximamente con el favor de Dios
Gracias... We found a temporary place, and our landlord plans to fix our damaged home. Maybe after then, we can go back... 🩵✨
Eso espero, desde aquí te mando un abrazote fuerte y mucha fuerza
Oye siento mucho lo de tu casa, pero como dices hay que agradecer que solo fueron perdidas materiales y ustedes están bien, y que este incidente te hizo reflexionar sobre esto, además me haces tener más en presente que debemos agradecer siempre por lo que tenemos y no lamentarnos en lo que no, fue una especie de fracaso que más adelante solo será un mal recuerdo, que dejo un gran aprendizaje. Fue un gusto leerte. Suerte en el concurso. Bendiciones 🙏🏼
Yes... our safety id what matters most. Thank you so much, and have a good one! 🥰✨💙
Wow, I'm sorry that you lost your home. You can't blame yourself for the things you cannot control. I don't get too many storms here in Western Canada but I did prepare myself in the event of an expected Earthquake which has been overdue statistically. A few small ones, but better than one BIG one. I'm glad you are able to find alternate accommodation. That is not easy around Vancouver with very low vacancy rate.
Keep us up to date @tegoshei

We're lucky to have received support from people around us, including our landlord. These things are unpredictable, so we can't really do anything except try to survive and move forward... Thank you so much! 💙✨
This sums it up wonderfully for me, so well said @tegoshei. It is all part of the process.
I am so sorry to hear that you lost your home, I do hope you find a permanent solution soon.

Thank you so much... and yes, I really hope so, too. Thanks for the tip! 💙✨😁
Greetings. Wow, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your home. That's not something that's easy to deal with. At this point, I wouldn't dare to judge that situation as a success or a failure... Perhaps it's closer to having survived such a situation. I hope you're safe. And finally, you're right about one thing: it's not necessary to fail, but victory definitely tastes better after failure. A big hug.
Hello... yes, it isn't an easy journey we're taking right now, but we'll get through this. ^^ Thank you so much... <3 A big hug back! :D
