The rich white male ceo of the company my friend works for is delivering an annual message to his company with his big glass windows and golf clubs in the background and with his pocket square gleaming and he just said:

Let me tell you something ...
YOU SHOULD CARE.
You should care about EVERY moment of trying AND failing.
1/
You should care especially about failures because only in failing do you learn to grow, shift your thinking, and learn resilience. Only when you fail do you understand what you need to do to continue on and not fail again.
CELEBRATE every choice you make to TRY.
CELEBRATE every choice you make to try AGAIN.
CELEBRATE every decision you make to move forward even if you don't succeed at first.
CELEBRATE every forward motion you decide to make.
Every single small step is important.
2/
The oppressors that want you to be a miserable wage slave and brainwash you into thinking that NOTHING is worth anything unless you SUCCEED at it are liars ...
EVERYTHING you do ... FOR YOU ... to move yourself forward in even a small way is important, powerful, and worth celebrating.
