    Default Which sentence is more natural in these sentences? consider to be~/consider as~

    It is said that "consider to be~" and "consider as~" have same meaning. But I have seen a lot of sentence structures wich have "consider as~", but I have seen few sentence structures which have "consider to be~".
    I have two example sentences like this.
    Most people consider success and failure to be opposites.
    Most people consider success and failure as opposites.
    Do these two structure have same meaning?
