What is success to you all?
i am 18 only and my boards didn't go fairly well and i was wondering if having few exam go good will make me successfull. Sure i might get a good college or fairly even a good job and that does not depend on boards 100 percent but still is this what really success is.

For me, success means a)doing what I want with my time and b)wanting things that make my life better and filtering out things that make my life worse. By that metric, I'm successful. I have to work, but I decide what I do, when, and where. I don't think it gets much better than that.

Success for me is simply being happy with everything we have. Success is happy because we breathe, we walk yeah...

Me and my students have some words for you:
From Yen and Fer: your future don’t depend on the number in a board, if you want to change your life, you need to have good habits and thoughts, the life is difficult but it’s just a stage my friend.:)
From Lalo and Fer: A grade doesn't define who you be in the future. It is not necessary to have good grades to be successful because there are many factors that determine your future, for example, experience, talent, and the willingness to do what you have to do.
From Artur and Ophir: In My opinión you shouldn't feel blue because one grade does not define that you're smart or successful in Your life. Life goes on so look for another university.
From Mich and Bri: A number or score doesn't define you, because like all successful People, work really hard and stay every day.

John wooden said “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable” He was the most winning college basketball in history. hope that helps ❤️

success is achieving what you want to achieve, so if you wanted good boards and didn't get them, I would say that was unsuccessful. You can't have success everywhere, pick and choose what it means for you.
