How do you define success and failure in your work?

If all my QA bots pass: http://eon.codes/blog/2022/11/24...

If you are making progress, you are successful, no matter how slow. :)

There's no success without failure, I believe. But success to me is receiving compliments, and seeing people use your product. Failure is... not sure? Failing to listen to the feedback of your users or the lack of users. But you can still create success from those two by putting in enough effort.

I think that success is failing, to learn something new.

Success in my work is learning about the problem, and the of the market deeply enough to provide some additional value to it. While “Failure” is failing to learn for me, or understand the needs of the user.

I think success for me recently is hearing a user find our extension helpful/useful. I believe we're building something with real impact so it's cool when users realize the big picture.

Success is achieve my goal that I planned. And failure is the reason why I can't reach my goal, where I can learn from it. Failure is basis of success, which means success is built based on a lot of failure.

I would say Success means you meeting your goals and failure would be to get distracted from your goals

Nothing beats hearing users tell you why they love your product...

there is no failure. it's just winning and learning.

Honestly, it depends on the context. In some situations, short terms success leads to long-term failures, for example, banks quarterly earning. While in some situations the reverse is applicable, short-term loses lead to long-term victories, for example, the story of slack. So i don't know if there will be a definition that gives justice without being vague.

Customer satisfaction 💯

Data talks all

Success at work simply means bringing satisfaction to the team involved in a particular task. Whether it’s about in-house colleagues or clients Whereas failure, to some extent, is not seeing the desired results that will bring satisfaction to the team.

Such an inquisitive question - thank you for creating this space for everyone to share, @elifduran 😌❤️ My personal definition of success is ensuring that I've set up the processes to empower my team to run. So much so that if I was out of the picture, they can continue running without me. This is also tied with how I'd like people - my team, our community members, our users - to remember me/us at the end of the day: for being genuine, compassionate, curious and present. Definition of failure? Operating from a scarcity or fear-based mindset.

As a founder, Churchill’s take on success is quite good. “Success is going from failure to failure without losing the enthusiasm”

If I achieve my goals or not

Success = helping someone. Failure = not learning from mistakes.

success in my work is defined by accurate and relevant responses, efficient completion of tasks, positive user feedback, and continuous improvement. On the other hand, failure is characterized by inaccurate or irrelevant responses, inability to complete tasks, negative user feedback, and lack of improvement over time. Defining success and failure is subjective and context-dependent, and I strive to continuously improve and meet user expectations.

Success is when users are satisfied. This is the foundation of every success. The failure is if I make a product that only I use in the whole world.
