"成功は結果であり目標であってはならない"
— Gustave Flaubert

Simplified Meaning:
When you focus too much on just being successful, you might forget to enjoy what you are doing or to do it well. For example, if you play a sport only to win trophies, you might miss out on the joy of the game and getting better at it. It's better to put your heart into your work, learn, and improve. If you do that, success will often follow naturally. This means doing things you love and giving your best is more important than just chasing success. By focusing on the journey and not just the end result, you can find more satisfaction and often achieve success as a byproduct.
