What matters is not if you fail or if you succeed; there are often factors out of our control that determine the outcome. What matters is if you try, and how you try.

Embrace success, but lest you forget that you need to fail in order to learn, or to gain any amount of resilience or perseverance in your spirit. And if these insipid, nonsensical, banal, and vapid struggles are capable of deteriorating its integrity, you ought to be concerned for who you will be when the world has called you to do something that actually matters.
