Understanding this quote
The quote says that difficult experiences often teach more than good results do. Adversity exposes weaknesses, demands adjustment, and shows what needs to change. Success can confirm that something worked, but it may reveal less about how to improve. The comparison does not dismiss success; it emphasizes how strongly challenges can develop understanding.
