WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE


WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IN YOUR LIFE?
Musings
By
VIKRAM KARVE

Do you want to “achieve”? 

If so, what do you want to achieve?

What do you understand by the term “achievement”?

Here is a definition of Achievement by Bernard Haldane –

Achievement is:

something you yourself feel you have done well,
something that you also enjoyed doing
and
something you felt proud of doing.

Achievement is an accomplishment that gave you enjoyment while doing it, satisfaction from the outcome and a sense of pride.

Close your eyes, reflect and ask yourself: 

Are you “achieving” anything in your present career or job? 

Or better still, ask yourself: 

Are you achieving anything in your life?

Think about it - what are you achieving in your life?
