We find the greatest happiness for every challenge we conquered.

About This Quote

We find the greatest happiness for every challenge that we conquered. This quote is attributed to Aristotle, who said something similar to it in his book "Nicomachean Ethics." The idea is that you should never feel bad about yourself for failing. No matter what the challenge may be, there will always be another opportunity to do better. You will never have to live with regrets or second thoughts.

Instead, you can go ahead and conquer your next challenge. When you find yourself struggling, take heart in the fact that your past challenges were simply opportunities that allowed you to learn something new and build upon your strengths. To drive this point home, Aristotle wrote: "The end of life is happiness; the means of achieving this end are activity and contemplation."
