Roethlisberger argues that people who are preoccupied with success ask the
wrong question. They ask, "what is the secret of success" when they should
be asking, "what prevents me from learning here and now?" To be overly
preoccupied with the future is to be inattentive toward the present where
learning and growth take place. To walk around asking, "am I a success or a
failure" is a silly question in the sense that the closest you can come to
answer is to say, everyone is both a success and a failure

What if it's a silly question because neither success nor failure is
necessary to consider?
