We only see the winners and the happy moments when building a company or relationship. What goes behind, the battles, losses, and pains, are less mentioned.
It feels like a facade at work where only one side is shown to the world, be it the media or the winners.
The self-help books, entrepreneurial podcasts, and love therapists are not incentivized to discuss failures. It is not sexy, it does not get viewership and it’s plight. We all want happy-go-lucky moments.
Behind every success went a dozen other failures. The facade is to hide it and gloat about glory.
