@jvkn awesome way to start the conversation!

 

How do you define success? Do you think success is the opposite of failure?

 

For me success is when I have been true to myself.  It is not dependent on the outcome

Hi everybody! 
For me success is about learning, because I learn a lot when i fail, i succeed a bit too!

@Ben-RO learning from our failures definitely leads to success, i guess in that case, failure isn't the opposite of success

@Ben-RO yeah that's interesting! So basically if you learn, are you saying that you can't fail?

@tsnyderI think you can definitely fail, but it's important to see failure as something that's not black and white. There's always something to learn from it and so there's always at least a bit of growth and a bit of success, even in failure!

That being said, it also feels realllllly good when I achieve something I have set my mind too.  Tough question!

@tsnyder that's a good point, for me success is achieving my own goals that i set out

Hello awesome people thought I would come and put my 2c in tonight 🙂 

Hope you are all well

Success is achievement and growth. I think failure is a part of success, how do you know you need to change paths if you dont fail or make mistakes.

@ruenhonx Welcome!

that's a good point, failures enable us to grow and in turn, succeed

so for @Ben-RO its more subjective and about growth and learning, but for @jvkn it's more or an objective and achievement oriented definition? Is this correct?
