Great points about success being a fleeting feeling! I think society, family, and media often sell us the idea that big achievements—like getting into a top university—will lead to lasting happiness. I bought into that, expecting my degree to make life easy, but the grind never stops. We’re wired to chase new goals after each win; the thrill fades fast. As the article suggests, maybe true success is about finding peace in this cycle, embracing the ups and downs with self-awareness.
It’s about finding peace with myself and living true to my values—things like prioritizing health, staying curious and learning, supporting others’ growth, and consistently investing money. Honestly, I’m still figuring out my values, but that’s where I’m at.

Thanks, Fabio, for sharing your thoughts. If you don't mind me asking, what are you calling 'success' these days?
