“Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed”
— Emily Dickinson
Simplified Meaning:
People who have never achieved success often appreciate it the most. Imagine two students, one who always gets top grades without much effort, and another who struggles and fails often. The second student, after finally passing a test, feels incredible joy and satisfaction because they have faced failure so many times before. They know how hard it is to succeed, so they value it much more. Just like this, when we lack something we badly want, we tend to desire and appreciate it even more. This mindset reminds us to never take our achievements for granted and to show empathy for the struggles of others.
