艺术史学者莎拉·露易丝的第一份工作是在博物馆，她在研究了一位艺术家之后发现：并非每件作品都是大师级的佳作。她提醒大家考量自己生命中 “几乎失败” 和 “差点成功” 的事件的作用。在我们追求成功和卓越的过程中，不正是那些“差一点的成功”在督促我们前进吗？

坦然接受 “差一点的成功”

Progress comes not from flawless triumph but from the drive sparked by nearly reaching a goal. Olympic silver medalists, for example, feel more compelled than bronze medalists to compete again because they came so close to victory. Artists like Cézanne and Kafka saw their celebrated works as incomplete, channeling restlessness into lifelong pursuit. Mastery, the talk argues, is not about arriving at perfection but about embracing the motivation found in almost getting there.
