I think being motivated by fear of being viewed as a failure can be very powerful and last far beyond school.
It's unhealthy, but I get a great deal of satisfaction when I think about others seeing me as a success. And a great deal of stress when things aren't going right, which has been a motivator for turning things around.
If at some point I fail and can't recover, my mental health would probably decline significantly.
