A little introspection...
To me, being successful means...
being content and being happy
My definition of success has changed over time.
success doesnt necessarily mean financial success (though that is a part of it) but it includes emotional success (are you happy living your life?)
My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
Moving across the world and pursuing my career in a different country.
My biggest mistake or regret so far and what I’ve learned from it
Believing that high school was the most important time in my life, and getting so consumed in it.
Anything else you'd like to share?
Be open. The people who are my friends now from Palo Alto are not the people I was friends with in High School. Having a shared history goes a long way
