Over-succeeding?!

If you build a robust system, (similarly established a solid relationship). It would be very hard to overwhelm this system with almost anything you throw at it. It just works despite the stress, and the major variables.

However, those systems (and relationships) are extremely rare. Most are made of spit and patch work (or as we say in Arabic, "Bzzi2 oo Lazzi2" as in spit and stick) causing the system to fail under pressure, stress or other unanticipated factors.

The same thing is very true in relationships. A family is usually a very strong system. Parents and children can almost withstand anything life throws at them, most of the time. However, personal relationships between people, don't follow that path, although it does happen rarely. All it takes is a little strain on a relationship and BAM it's gone!

Over-succeeding can be one of those factors that cause a relationship (in a system, between humans) to fail. It provides the huge pressure that causes the whole system to just crumble. Although, most women learned to deal with (and enjoy) their partner's success. Men are a whole different story. Which leads me to continue to believe that Women are way more developed emotionally than men. Despite that going out of hand most of the time. The emotional superiority of women allows them to withstand such pressures. While many men would just crumble!

Anything you can imagine, needs to be put to the test. Your relationship, your partner, that car you drive, the tires, even your very own existence. You need to know how much it would take before breaking. So you won't end up over-succeeding in one area and miserably failing in another. We call this "Stress test".

You just never know when your "stress" would become the normal thing that you need to cope with
