I don’t think I have posted a poem on this blog yet. Here is a wonderful poem about achievement, which describes it better than I ever could.
Achievement
by Alister Renaux
Achievement…
Is not basking in the glory
It is
The glory of the endeavor
Achievement…
Is not public acclaim
Rather, it is
Personal vindication
Achievement…
Is not looking back with pride
It is
The satisfaction of moving on
Achievement is…
Realizing a goal set,
Fulfilling one’s potential,
Hurdling over an obstacle
The success of one’s dream
Perseverance over failure
Accomplishment against the odds
A step in the right direction
The triumph of one’s spirit
Achievement is…
The reality of a dream
That was, once, shaken out of its trance.
