- jwagenet 8y agoWhy is losing/failing in your career necessary? Is it not enough to play it safe in your career and take on challenges in relationships, hobbies, or other parts of life?
- tracer4201 8y agoI don’t think it’s necessary to lose or fail in your career. However, there’s also something to consider - if you always succeed at everything, are you really being challenged? There’s a difference between always succeeding because you’re in your comfort zone or working on problems that don’t stretch you. For some folks, that’s probably fine. Depending on your line of work, it may not be enough if you really want to grow. Just my 2 cents.
