“The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory”
— Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:
People often find joy and satisfaction in the efforts they put into achieving something rather than just the success itself. For example, think about someone training for a marathon. They might enjoy the daily runs, the improvement in their stamina, and the discipline they build. When the race day comes and they cross the finish line, the victory feels great, but the real happiness came from the journey - the hard work, the progress, and the personal growth. This idea teaches us to value the process and effort, not just the final result. Applying this thought to everyday life, one might find more fulfillment in working on a challenging project, learning new skills, or overcoming obstacles, rather than just focusing on the end reward.
