Note: i am emphasizing on personal achievement and not group or collective achievement.

The individual can make multiple achievements at random or in sequential order. Some goals are achieved while others are not, but what is most important is the overall output. At the end of the day, the individual will ask "Am i happy with who i am and whom i have become?" if the answer is yes then the individual has made achievements that they are satisfied with.

Note: This is not the same as receiving a public award or winning prizes or scholarships, or setting a trend, or changing the world and its functions, those are public achievements seen in the eyes of the populace. However public achievements also connect to personal achievements, they are both shared by the individual(s).

The point of this article is to make you aware that its OK to set goals, its OK to fight for what you want, its OK to feel self satisfaction for who you are and whom you have become. Regardless of how long it takes, or the sacrifices that you have made, in the end all that matters is the OUTPUT. You will say: "I am happy with who i am, and i am happy with who i have become".
