Achievements and Accomplishments

I had typed this msg, to one my friends, on the spot, and thought i'd done a pretty good job so decided to post it. Here goes...

"Accomplishments and achievements are not standardized. There is never a fixed set of these things, never a proper list, ki maine list me ye wala kaam kiya to maine kuch achieve kar liya. The list is not common for all, its made by the person himself/herself, each to his own. Basically anything that makes you happy is an achievement. It may be very small, and many others may have done it before you, but the feeling of doing it yourself and the happiness derived from it is your achievement. What is big for you may be small and normal for others, but it is still your achievement coz you did it and you're proud of that fact. Remember one thing, your achievements are not for others to see, hear and admire. Your achievements are for your happiness in life. So dont measure it based on how others react to it. If you measure it in that way then you will always feel that you have not done anything in life, coz you're not able to make another person feel awed by you. And that ways you will always be a failure. Coz while one thing may awe one person, it might not awe another.

I dunno how far im able to explain myself. What im saying is dont judge yourself based on what others think and say about you, make your own judgements and love yourself for your own achievements. Dont live and think from another person's point of view, make your own. And once you do, strive for it, no matter how less you achieve in the meanwhile. You need to be more introspective in life, to find out the good and bad in you. The more you think deeply, the more you will find your achievements, in all aspects of life.

Oh and one last thing - at the same time dont forget to set goals for bigger achievements in life, and strive for them. But while striving, dont stop enjoying and priding yourself on the day-to-day small achievements. Big ones take time, but that doesnt signify failure. "
