"It is a funny thing in society, because we really only celebrate success, not the attempt."
This hits me deep. I made so many attempts with very little successes. Applied job per job. Failed and failed. Finally, got one and was so happy despite its little pay. I celebrated the success. But I forgot the effort, wisdom, and experience I learned from those failed attempts that led to that. Now, after reading your work, I feel the need to celebrate my attempts, too. Thank you for the reminder.
