Whenever you have a setback, besides looking at the outcome, spend more time on the process that leads to that failure. A student who graduated with a poor grade in a university should examine his/her actions in school. It is only by looking at that process that the student will avoid repeating poor grades in future life endeavors.
Sometimes, poor grades could be due to misalignments: you applied for course A, you ended up with Course B, and remained unmotivated throughout the program. But we also have extremely lazy students who made bad choices: sleeping when others were studying. Not fixing those attitudes would result to future life failures.
If you worked hard, gave your best and ended up with poor grades: the world has a future for you. That attitude will lead to opportunities. Do not beat yourself down because of failure. Rather, make sure the cause of that failure is not systemic.

In Tekedia Mini-MBA, we have a robust program which focuses on improving Personal Economies; not just national economies, not just corporate balance sheets, but your own economy.
