Success is the accomplishment of an aim or
purpose.
Success is often defined as the ability to reach
your goals in life, whatever those goals may be.

be attainment, accomplishment, or progress.
Success is something that you have to define
for yourself, and no one can do it for you.

to different people. For some, success may mean
reaching a certain level of personal achievement.

1. Setting Clear Goals and Objectives

follow, which can help you stay focused and
motivated throughout your academic journey.

you want to achieve it. Once you have a clear

setting goals that align with them.

challenging but achievable.
