The Success Of Some Things

Often you hear fans talk about something being better than another. From boy bands, to TV shows to movies even. It's become a lot more noticeable that these days, everything is compared to by just how successful something is. How many awards they got, or how well songs and albums do on the charts, how the ratings are for a show compared to another. But that doesn't always mean something is actually good. Number one, it's all opinion. And especially number two, it's quality over quantity. It's these two things that matter most about books, artists, shows, movies and art. What do you really love about something, what makes you absolutely love it, are there even little things about it that stand out to you that make you love it more. Going deep into anything you love and finding maybe even a lot of things to love about it could make you see it as having a ton of quality. And at the end of the day, it's not even about how many more qualities something has over another. I think what matters is if you like it. The success of some things depends if it succeeded for you, making you love it a lot. Safe Haven and A Walk to Remember didn't do so well at the box office, and they probably didn't win so many awards, but many people love them and they can be regarded as classic romantic movies, so in a way, they did succeed as movies in some way. Respect comes with success. And there's really different ways one thing or one person can be successful. They can either be loved so much that we toss our money out to them or they can be really underappreciated and leaving quite a few people questioning why something or someone doesn't get more praise for the work. And happiness can mean success. Chris Gardner wasn't pursuing money throughout the movie Will Smith did. It was called The Pursuit of Happyness. He became successful when he knew he and his son could now be really happy. So for people, that's what it comes down to: happiness. For books, music, TV, movies and art, it's all about whether or not you yourself really love the work. There's no facts that something really is better than another because if it could come as a fact, I'm sure people would rather live in the truth than in myth but people can find themselves loving something that everyone seems to either hate or hate something everyone else seems to love.
