The effort behind the win

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

If I knew I couldn’t fail, I would probably try something big, like maybe run a marathon. The idea of guaranteed success sounds comforting, but I wonder if it would feel as satisfying without the struggle.

Part of what makes reaching a goal so special is knowing how much effort went into it, the early mornings, the setbacks, the persistence. If it all came so easily, would the victory still mean as much?

I think it’s the effort, not just the outcome, that gives success its real value.
