Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
There is an old Chinese saying: Failure is the mother of success.
This saying is among the most frequently used quotes to encourage people to keep faith and never give up.
It also carries sound logic because failures allow us to learn and improve and therefore set the basis for success. Many would argue that failures are the best means of learning.
However, it recently came to me that the reverse is also true.
Success is also the mother of failure.

Success makes people confident. And many successes make people arrogant.
The more successful people are or they think they are, the more they intend to attribute the success to themselves and ignore the impacts of platform, macro trends and even luck.
This inevitably makes the vast majority of people arrogant....
