In our career, is it about the journey or the result? Which one matters the most?

I feel that both are important but the end result matters more as you can start from a small role (fresh graduate from Poly/Uni/ITE) and rise up/climb the corporate ladder. A good example are founders/co-founders of start-ups. Starting off from a small idea to executing it successfully, e.g. Grab, NinjaVan & Carousell. I'm sure that along the way, they had an awesome experience as they learnt many new things too.

Hmm, I'm actually curious as to what you would define a "result" of your career?

​

If the result is to be, let's say, working in Facebook. After you achieve that, you'd naturally want to go even higher - say have a higher position within the company. Thus it's a little tough to define an "end result", but every goal will end up becoming the journey as well.

​

I'm sure this will be the same in many of our financial goals - Eg. getting a house/paying off a house, will eventually turn from being a "result" to part of life's journey.

​

So it's a little hard to differentiate between the 2, so I wonder what drove this question?
