“I’d rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.”
Comedian George Burns
Do you agree with George Burns?

Absolutely. There’s no point in doing something you hate.

No? You’d rather succeed doing something you hate than fail doing something you love?

I’ve had enough of the latter, so yes. I’d like to find out for once what success feels like. Bring it on!

It depends on whether or not you can live on the salary of “failing.” If it pays well, I’m with George.

Hate is a strong word, so I couldn’t do something I hate.

I’ve hate to do something I hated to pay the bills. It’s no way to live. I’m with George.

Sort of. I wouldn’t love being a failure at something I love. I’d hope to be able to do something I love well.

I agree… much rather do something I enjoy, than hate.

I totally agree! I would much rather fail at my passion than thrive doing something I hate. This certainly applies to every aspect of our life, and we need to be mindful of this as we make decisions in life and work towards what we want. Even if you love something, you can still fail at it, but just knowing that you enjoy doing it should make you feel fulfilled anyway. Very clever post. Loved the one liner idea. Looking forward to seeing more posts like these!
