Very inspiring journey. I'm going through a similar phase where I've cleared the CFA level 3 exam. Before clearing the exam I thought this is the biggest challenge, but No, figuring out "What next?" is a bigger challenge.

[@AnjaliSharma-xi7cx]

she is a big demotivation for students coz students clear foundation at the age of 18 ,19. then somehow many students get demotivate nobody will say this but its a fact.

[@riyatomar3372]

why not we learn something from her 😊 and look at the positive side 😊.

[@xiaosbbg.]

everyone's path towards success is different, comparing yours with others will only end up resulting in feeling jealous and demotivated but that doesn't make her the problem because she also worked hard for it. jealousy is the biggest enemy who robs you off of your happiness and stops you from enjoying the process of growing through failures. just believe in yourself and be true to your dreams and path, success will find you at the right time, keep working smart, u got this. 🤍
