Doing

Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.

There must surely be some things where the outcome is more important than the doing...

Actually I can't think of any. Of course I only thought about it for maybe 27 seconds. I thought maybe raising children - the children you raise and the adults they become are more important than the way you raise the children. But then I changed my mind because they are too closely connected. 

And because children will do things just to spite you. Like you might do all you can to raise them with love and joy and then they might grow up and be rotten people because they promised themselves that one day they'd show you. Because of that time you said they couldn't do that one thing.

"Now you get your comeuppance!" they think.

On a positive note, you taught them a pretty good vocabulary if they use the word "comeuppance," so you've got that.
