If you succeed do you actually fail? Oh yes

We often think about success and failure in very one-sided terms. Our perceptions of people that we deem unsuccessful are low, where the term loser is frequently used. Yet we fail to truly understand of even try to acknowledge the truth of the person or the situation.

Alain de Botton, a Swiss writer and philosopher, discusses this topic and helps us refraim our interpretation of success and failure.

This is a great speech to provide inspiration for character and story development in storytelling.

Enjoy.
