We know ourselves the best… most of us think we are doing well in life … hardly few acknowledge that we might be failing on certain fronts …
Sometimes being honest in self assessment really helps us improve in life …
Do you class yourself as a success in life ( career, relationships, life in general)
or a failure ?
and do tell what values or habits made you successful and what has led to your failure …

I had major set backs, came back strong every time.
I don't think about life is about measuring success.
Its about ppl, its about struggle. Its about not giving up.
You know the way ppl are raised.
"abba ny collage select kia, amma ny prathy khilay , bety ko job mily gai"
I consider it a disaster.

Re: Successful or a failure ?
I think it's down to perspective anyway.
There are a few aspects of my life that I wouldn't say I'm failing at but I definitely could improve if I had the motivation. Which I don't because I'm more or less content with how things are.
From the outside, it depends who sees me. Some people think I'm successful and have admitted to being intimidated when they first met me but then on the other hand I spend a lot of time with successful scientists who achieved so much by my age, so I doubt they see me as a success.
Re: Successful or a failure ?
success is something that others gauge in us … I just look at myself sometimes and feel I failed … failed my parents by not coming upto their expectations … Irrespective of what ever the situation or the circumstances were and whether they were caused by me or them … in the end , I must live with the knowledge that I failed them.
though as kimble said , life is more about struggle and ability to keep coming back … I do win a few awards in that area … but over all , I class myself as a pretty mediocre person.
Stoppit , you make perfect sense , it happens to me too. on the outset..most people view me as successful , perhaps in career and in social life … but looking deeper , i feel i might have failed my ownself , coz it largely depends on ones abilities v/s their acheivements …given the abilities that Allah granted me , I dont think I acheived as much … though over all the achievements might have been higher then an average persons achievements … but it doesnt matter does it ..
I think i have a long way to go as yet … I gotta meet my own expectations :hinna:
Re: Successful or a failure ?
By reading your blogs or looking at your posts, I've realised that you are too hard on your self, you need to let your hair down. There is no such thing as being failure or successful - at the end of the day if you go to bed with contentment you are fine.. it's the moment that you are in counts the most.. not shoulda woulda coulda.

I consider myself a failure in EVERYTHING I do, it's good to have low expectations.

Re: Successful or a failure ?
FAILURE - I screwed up my GCSE’s 4 yrs ago. And then i screwed up my first year in college, too:bummer:.
I still regret it till now and will continue to do so unless i make up for my mistakes. When i think about my past, i just wish time comes back so that i can rectify my mistakes but sadly it won’t happen.
I, no doubt, have the capibility & the will to make up for the time i have wasted but, unfortunately, circumstances have changed now and i can’t do nothing other than just to sit down & regret it 
:k:
