This quote by Henry David Thoreau suggests that success often finds those who are deeply engaged in their work and passions, rather than those who are overly focused on the pursuit of success itself. Thoreau implies that when individuals immerse themselves in their endeavors—whether it's a job, a project, or a creative pursuit—they naturally make progress and achieve their goals. Instead of chasing success as a defined endpoint, it's more effective to concentrate on meaningful activities and let success come as a byproduct. This perspective encourages diligence, dedication, and a focus on the present moment rather than a fixation on future accolades.
