Strive For Excellence
If you ever thought about why do you have to work hard, strive for something more and stress out yourself to achieve something when you could just do moderately and be content with what you have now (be content as in you doesnt care that you could have more and be much better if you work harder).
Remember this,
“Whoever works righteousness whether male female while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e., Paradise in the Hereafter).” (An-Nahl 16: 97)
Honest effort never betray you. Unless Allah decide something else is better for you. Do your best for Allah. Do your best and be something that you can feel proud of later. Do your best because Allah has given you the capabilty to do so. Lastly, the result of something doesnt equal to excellence. It’s the amount of effort that you put that matter most.
May Allah and people around us guide/remind us to be a better person.

Read it. And yes, exactly what she said. When you have done your best, it feel really great isnt it? Even if we failed / doesnt succeed, it doesnt matter much because we have done our best, not much regret. I know how she felt. Been there. (:
