Which definition of achievement do you use?

While browsing Instagram with my closest friends last night, we came to the conclusion that everyone person on the platform has an own definition of success. Someone is earning a degree someplace, driving their own car in the UK, getting a job elsewhere, and getting paid just by posting reels on YouTube or Instagram.

Then, a question came up among our friends:

"What does success mean in every reel? Every definition is different."

We investigated internally and discovered this. We began talking about how we had observed that some of our senior members were in their postgraduate programs at prestigious hospitals here in the country, while others had travelled to the UK or the USA for postgraduate study, residency. Conversely, a small number of them had settled in own country, owning a home, a car, and everything else—with family.

Thus,does that characterise our environment of achievement or success—that is, how far we have come or accomplished something?

In addition, we came to the realisation that growing is a process that varies depending on the individual. For some, it may involve moving to a new area within their own nation. While for others, it may involve leaving to live in one of the developed world’s nations. For still others, it may involve something more similar, such as getting married, starting a family, landing a well-paying job, and so on.

Therefore, I believe that success cannot be compared. Whether I have accomplished more or less than my cohort mates shouldn't be the deciding factor in my life.

• So, with this knowledge, I want you to consider carefully what your accomplishment means to you. Don't blindly follow other people's definitions of success; instead, let your own definition guide you.

Having said that, I would like you to find your own achievement and let me know about it in the comments section.
