Failure is not the opposite to success, it's a stepping stone to success. If our primary goal is to be approved of, then we are not going to take risks, we are not going to speak out, we are going to try to blend in.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Failure is a necessary part of achieving success, not its enemy.
Arianna Huffington emphasizes that failure should not be viewed as a negative outcome but rather as a crucial step towards success. When the desire for approval overrides the willingness to take risks and express oneself, it stifles creativity and growth, leading individuals to conform rather than strive for greatness.

It’s not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears, it's not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.

Don’t just climb the ladder of success - a ladder that leads, after all, to higher and higher levels of stress and burnout - but chart a new path to success, remaking it in a way that includes not just the conventional metrics of money and power, but a third metric that includes well-being, wisdom, wonder and giving, so that the goal is not just to succeed but to thrive.
