The statement suggests that process in any enterprise is more important than the final product. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement, without process there is no final product. Process plays a very essential role in determining how the final product is going to come out.
It is rightly said that journey is more important than destination, this is analogous to- process is more important than the final product. For instance if I try to correlate this with an example; when you go on a trek, you have to face many obstacles like bad weather, steep routes, fear of falling down, risk of getting lost somewhere, breathing problems, etc. You have to face many challenges until you reach the pinnacle. Once you overcome all the challenges and reach your destination the feeling that you have cannot be described. You fill contented, you feel like your hard work has paid off. On the other hand imagine if you were taken directly to the top by rope way or by some other means would you get the same feeling of fulfillment? No, you won’t. This proves that process is more important than the final result. Here, the end result gave you happiness and satisfaction but more than that the process gave you many things unknowingly like it made you strong both physically and mentally, it taught you to face the challenges and most importantly it made you feel confident about yourself.
Additionally, most of the scientific discoveries that have been made were done during the processing of different end product. For example Pythagoras was studying space and planets because he had a lot of interest in astronomy, while studying he unexpectedly discovered that earth and other planets are spherical in shape which before the discovery people used to believe that earth is square in shape. Now, this was discovered unintentionally, he did not thought of end result before discovering it; he just gave importance to the process of exploring the space in this case.
However, in some of the cases the final product is also important, as that is what is going to be used for application purposes. But the process of making it is even more important as the statement rightly suggests.
