Love Never Fails BUT We Fail In Love

Chapter 17 || Achievement

"Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams." Robert K. Greenleaf once said in his speech during the annual AT & T meeting. In a very broad way, he said it is absolutely correct that every achievement starts with a dream and only a good dreamer can achieve his goal.

Since our childhood, we humans have learned an important lesson: achievement is only granted to those who dare to sacrifice. We all remember from our memory boxes how much we were worried and scared about riding a bike for the first time without any support behind us. Our elders lied to us that they would hold us for riding support, but after a little while, they took back their holding hands without telling us. It was their sacrifice for us. They knew maybe we could have fallen from the bike and gotten a cut or scratch on our wrists or legs, but that sacrifice was nothing before being able to ride the bike confidently. That is why our parents or siblings let us go alone without any support to ride a bike. They wanted us to live our dream of riding a bike, because without a dream, no one can reach to their achievement.

But also, achievement always brings satisfaction without any selfishness because it is always awarded to those who are far away from selfish thoughts. The journey of achievement is always not that easy. It demands sacrifices, hard work, and hope. If you want to achieve something, have faith in yourself and hope for the best. We human beings are always looking for discoveries that satisfy our need and greed for achievement. Our dream becomes our goal, and the dedication takes us to that achievement. Hard work is the formula for getting success, and success is the result of patience, which ultimately knocks the door of achievement happily that we deserve in our lives. On the path of life, there will be many obstacles that try to stop or demotivate us from achieving our goals, but if we dedicate our hard work towards our goals, we will reach the final knockout of achievement. Which ultimately brings happiness and satisfaction to us, that's what achievement means in our lives.

Once I asked one of my friends named rosela_rj7 about her point of view regarding achievement and she beautifully said "Why achievement is important? I believe, when we set out a goal to achieve, we are usually thinking beyond that goal, way further in future...to the point it becomes important to achieve the prize waiting in the future...But once you don't have any goal, it'll feel empty. It feels like there are no more challenges, nothing to achieve, no train to catch on. You're just standing in middle of the street lost....." Her points were accurate regarding the important of achievement in our daily life.

One of my friends named lazy_sane from another continent once said about achievement as "Human tendency to have a title to live with....the satisfaction indeed is worth it...yet I wanna add this thing that we as a human lost the fun in life if we solemnly focus on our gaining the achievements only." Yes as a human, achievement always satisfied our soul, she was absolutely right in her points.

A guy from our guy squad far away from me named Mrinalpiks explain the concept of achievements when I knocked him to elaborate, he said "It's the after effects, the validation of it. The option it gives to us- to feel proud of ourselves. And make the people we love feel proud." Yes achievements bring proud moments with it for ourselves and to other whom we love. A great achievement always brings satisfaction into our soul which converts to proud.

All together, we can say that achievement brings happiness with pride. It brings a smile to our soul. As we are human, its satisfaction is always worth it. Sometimes, future happiness makes us thrill and it gives us challenges that trigger our action and ultimately let us reach to our goals. Life without achievement is just a life to be lived, but with achievement, it changes to being able to have life with full of fun. The way to reach final achievement comes with many mini efforts that focus and gain our trust for happiness. But sometimes, humans run for achievements in a very serious way and forget to live the life they have. They take too much stress and let everything go, but not the achievements. And at the end, they earn their achievements with hard work, but they own no one to share their happiness with.
