You know how sometimes you pull a cake out of the oven perfect rise, flawless crumb, just the right balance of flavors but not everyone at the table vibes with it? Maybe they prefer something sweeter, or they’re just not into citrus. It’s still a great cake, right?
I’ve been mulling over whether success stories work the same way. If something resonates deeply with some people but leaves others scratching their heads, does that diminish its value? In marketing, baking, even geology (ever tried explaining volcanic soil to a non-coffee drinker?), not every win will click with everyone. But does that make it any less meaningful?
Curious to hear your take. Have you ever created or witnessed something that felt like a triumph, even if it wasn’t universally loved? How do you measure its worth?
