George BurnsI'd rather be a failure in something that I love than a success in something that I hate.
About This Quote
The essence of this quote is that one must be willing to fail in the pursuit of their passion, but also succeed once they’ve achieved it. Many people would rather avoid failure altogether by doing something they don’t love. If you fail at something you love, you can always learn from it and try again. If you succeed, you’ll at least have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried your best.
