Jemma Arakelyan: Success is about discovering who we are and what truly matters to us

Jemma Arakelyan, Medical Oncologist and the Chief Executive Officer of The Institute of Cancer and Crisis, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“When you’re young and ambitious, it’s easy to feel lost. You face a pivotal choice: you can either lose yourself in the chaos or embark on a journey of self-discovery. Both paths are challenging and complex, each with its own trials.

Recently, I came across a definition of success by Marc Randolph that truly resonates with my current values. It reminds me that success isn’t just about achievements—it’s about discovering who we are and what truly matters to us.”
