Each person has their own set of values. That is why someone your achievements in life may seem insignificant. But it's not about them, it's about you.

Why do we constantly have to turn to others, listen to other people's opinions, think every minute about public feedback, being afraid to make an unnecessary awkward movement? The main thing that your achievements in life were important to you.

Everything depends on ourselves. For someone is Golden medal at school, a red diploma at the institute, the title of employee of the month, and someone does not consider these indicators of success.

Let's try to figure out what life, professional achievements generally represent.

Achievement is most often called a certain positive result, success in something. But this is where the single concept of achievement ends. And then there is a lot of controversy.

Firstly, they single out qualitative and quantitative categories of success, achievements, because, according to some, nothing better than numbers fixes success.

The numbers always speak for themselves. Many at the mention of the phrase " your achievements in life» want to hear specific data about , favorably distinguishes a person. For example, the advantages of the job seeker among other applicants.

Employers are often asked to bring concrete examples, confirming the words of the candidate, and talk about achievements in a particular field of activity.

Most of all they are interested in statistical data on the work done earlier. For example, the number of attracted customers, the percentage increase in sales volume of the department, how many deals were made.

But for many, not only dry numbers are important, but also what the person himself considers his own achievements.

The opinion of people about their achievements reveals to others a part of their inner world, their . Based on such information, one can understand how a person evaluates his strengths, how confident he is, whether his self-presentation skills are well developed.

Secondly, some evaluate achievements by their quality, or rather by their scale. So, for example, occupation leadership position for 2-3 years of work at the enterprise - this will be, in the opinion of "connoisseurs of quality", an achievement. Getting into the top list of "the best entrepreneurs in the region" is also a qualitative achievement.

But, as you know, you cannot please everyone, so we need to decide what achievements are for ourselves and achievements in the eyes of the public, because these are often completely different concepts.

In the column " your achievements in life"Under the mark" personal ", you can safely enter everything that is important for you. For example, a self-developed business plan, a good productive idea, getting yourself into great physical shape.

Yes, even today healthy lifestyle life can be a personal achievement. And if we talk about, then here professional achievements will be more suitable and will be appreciated by others, both qualitative and quantitative.

Therefore, it is not necessary to rely on one's own opinion here. The second category of achievements is necessary when applying for a job, when assessing the competitiveness of your business (if most of the activity depends on you), when determining the quality of work of a division of an enterprise, a company.

So, your achievements in life can be very diverse, and there can be as many as you see fit, but exactly as long as it is about your personality without being tied to society.

In other cases, when evaluating your achievements, you will have to proceed from the generally accepted scale of success.

Reassessment of values, or accounting for achievements in your life

From time to time it is useful to ask yourself the question: what have I achieved? The question is not idle, as it helps to comprehend what has already been done and what remains to be done. If there are not as many achievements as we would like, this may serve as a reason to start changing something in life.

Important achievements in life can be divided into two conditional categories: public and personal.

Social achievements are something that is valued in society, speaks of a person’s success (gold medal at school, diploma prestigious university, status position, material well-being).

Personal achievements are those deeds for which we respect ourselves.

A very, very debatable question is what is more important - public recognition or personal satisfaction from one's life. Both are important.

Achievements visible to all

Remember the Soviet film comedy, which became a classic, and the phrase from this film, which went to the people: “an athlete, a Komsomol member and just a beauty”? There are achievements by which we are evaluated in society. These success criteria include education, career, social status person. It so happened that we live in society and play by the rules that society dictates to us.

TO important achievements life can be attributed to education. But there is one “but” here: the education received can be considered an achievement, provided that a person studied independently (and did not buy sessions and exams) and as a result acquired a profession that will bring him income in the future. If you need a diploma “just to have it”, then this is a dubious achievement.

Another important achievement in life is the success of a person in professional terms. If a person does what he loves, which brings him not only income, but also a sense of satisfaction - this, of course, is a criterion for success.

The concept of social status is quite ephemeral and one can argue for a long time on the topic that in our society everyone is equal, but in real life everything is not so. If a person is respected in the professional community, has a good reputation in his circle of friends, this is also a certain achievement in life.

A dangerous, dead-end path is to consider your material well-being as your important achievement in life. There will always be someone who is richer than you, which means that your own material wealth will no longer be so pleasing. And at the same time, it is probably not quite the right step to ignore material success.

Personal achievements counter

With personal achievements, everything is easier and more difficult at the same time. Here everyone determines for himself what is important to him. It turns out a personal scale of values, and what is important for you will not necessarily be a priority for others.

To create a harmonious family - someone quite rightly considers this an important achievement in life. And for someone, an important achievement in life is to learn how to cook Spanish cuisine, visit Kilimanjaro, or lose 20 kilograms.

We are all different, and someone considers the purchase of an expensive car to be an important achievement, and someone considers their spiritual self-development.

For a successful person, a mandatory personal achievement should be the desire to learn, to learn new things. And we are talking not only about professional activities, you can also learn “personal” things: learn to forgive and, as a result, become more generous, learn to restrain emotions - and due to this ability to honorably get out of the most difficult life situations.

Listing personal achievements (for example, having a photo album of your triumphant moments in life) is a great exercise in confidence. And when there is a feeling of inspiration and self-confidence, it is much easier to reach new heights.

Kolomenskoye hosts the World Sand Sculpture Championship. The works (there are 12 in total) are united by one theme “Great achievements of mankind”.
There are many people wishing to visit the exhibition, so if possible, it is better to go to it on a weekday.

Near each work there is a sign explaining why the sculptor made this particular piece and nothing else. True, there is a feeling that the texts suffered somewhat during translation ...

DENMARK. Peter Bush "Forgiveness":
The construction of the pyramids, the invention of the Internet, the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the creation of this required a lot of effort, solving many problems and overcoming obstacles. “The ability to forgive” requires a person to make even greater efforts to overcome himself.

BELGIUM. Engerrand David "The Great Achievements of Mankind":
Most of the great achievements of mankind can be divided into two categories: the first are related to the understanding and management of the surrounding world, the second are related to the search and organization of one's place in this world. And all achievements from the second group are mainly due to our culture, which should be defined as a spectrum of customs and noticeable natural laws. In this sculpture, the fabric symbolizes modern human culture, which, being at the peak of its development, completely hides the globe from us.

BULGARIA. Ruslan Korovkov "The Almighty is a sculptor":
The great achievement of humanity is the desire to become like our creator and create others like us. How the Creator created man in his image and likeness. Or maybe vice versa. And so I believe that the great achievement of humanity is sculpture. From the time of Ancient Greece when Pygmalion created his Galatea, and until these days, when people create robots and clones.

CZECH REPUBLIC. Radovan Zhivni "Archimedes":
Archimedes (287 BC - 212 BC) - the great ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, mechanic and engineer from Syracuse. He made many discoveries in geometry. He laid the foundations of mechanics, hydrostatics, the author of a number of important practical inventions. Already during the life of Archimedes, legends were created around his name. There is a story about how Archimedes was able to determine whether the crown of King Hieron was made of pure gold or a jeweler mixed a significant amount of silver into it. The specific gravity of gold was known, but the difficulty was to accurately determine the volume of the crown: after all, it had irregular shape! Archiedes thought about this problem all the time. Once he was taking a bath, and then he had a brilliant idea: by immersing the crown in water, you can determine its volume by measuring the volume of water displaced. According to legend, Archimedes jumped naked into the street shouting "Eureka!", That is, "Found!"

NETHERLANDS. Wilfred Steiger "Genius of the Times!"
Today, humanity has big problems such as: war, lack of water, pollution, death, etc. For many years people have been trying to solve all these problems. Today our main problem is that we live in a world of illusions because of our egocentrism. But if we realize the extent of our ego, the illusions will disappear and we will be able to see mi as he is. To achieve this, we need a genius person who is completely different from us.

AMERICA. Richard Varano. Archaic (Archaicature):
(On English language it's a play on words: archaic means "old", architecture - "architecture")
The combination of classical architecture and fantasy symbolizes the work of the human imagination in the construction of buildings that are solid on the one hand, and creative in their design on the other.

ITALY. Leonardo Ugolini " tower of babel»
Man is a gear in the cycle of life. This means that the cogwheels of human understanding stopped working and the Tower of Babel collapsed under the weight of this event.

RUSSIA. Dmitry Klimenko. "Crown of Creation - Wandering Biorobot":
Throughout the path of its existence, humanity thinks that it is constantly developing both spiritually and intellectually. Many the best minds humanity sacrificed their lives for the progress of civilization, although progress, I believe, is the replacement of one inconvenience by another. I have always been interested in the man himself, rather than the product of his life. The kind of person you need to be in order to create something really great, be it the Parthenon or spaceship, really amazes me. With such a vast topic, of course, it is impossible to cover everything, but I tried to display the most interesting, in my opinion, discoveries. Invention of the wheel, table chemical elements, Gagarin, the genius of Leonard and the man himself - the crown of creation.

INDIA. Sudarsan Patnaik. "Tad Mahal is a symbol of Shah Jahan's love for his wife, the fabulous beauty Mumtaz Mahal"
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum-mosque located in Agra, India, on the banks of the river. Yamuna. Built by order of the Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died in childbirth. Maybe it's not the best and not the most great monument architecture built throughout the history of mankind, dedicated to love, but undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking buildings in the world. Known for its architectural splendor and aesthetic beauty, the Taj Mahal is one of the 7 wonders of the world.

SPAIN. Etoile Ovieda "Women's Liberation":
Most Landmarks are not easily recognized by our culture. This is probably because our culture categorizes information as a whole: art, science, religion, technology, sociology, when in fact we could only choose one word to define it all. It can be "consciousness", "knowledge" or "information". We are from a kind of technocratic beings, constantly evolving. We evolve in such a way that we have been able to pass through an important turning point in our culture. We learned how to control births and gave freedom to women.

IRELAND. Fergus Mulvaney "Rise and Discovery"
The human desire to find one's place and establish oneself in the universe is increasingly separating us from the earth. To achieve this, humanity develops and studies latest ways perception of information, advanced technologies that can open up a new understanding of the origin of man on Earth, our origins and a possible future in space. Oddly enough, the further we move away from the earth into the universe, the more we begin to understand how tiny our Earth is and we are on it in relation to the universe.

UKRAINE. Irina Tavleskaya "Zen-soft"
Throughout the ages, people have tried to find the path to enlightenment through meditation and merging with nature. In our age computer technology a person strives to come to enlightenment (satori) with the help of programs and the Internet. Is it possible to comprehend the logic of thought through programs?

You can try to mold your own sculpture:

It costs 200 rubles to see the sculptures up close, for students, etc. - 100, invalids and veterans - free of charge. But I really want to know what is behind the fence before you paid the money ...

The main achievement of mankind :)

Mariana Trench: maximum depth

Bathyscaphe "Trieste" was designed by the Swiss scientist Auguste Picard, taking into account his previous development of the FNRS-2, the world's first bathyscaphe. Trieste is the name of the Italian city where the main work on its creation was carried out. From 1953 to 1957, it made several dives in the Mediterranean Sea, including setting a depth record at that time of 3,150 meters. In 1958, this unit was purchased by the US Navy. After the purchase, it was finalized - a stronger and more durable gondola was installed. Despite the purchase, Jacques Picard, the son of the designer of the apparatus, Auguste, remained the main pilot and technician of the device in 1958-1960.

Jean Picard (center) and Lieutenant Don Walsh during a record dive. Mariana Trench, January 23, 1960:

The deepest known depression on Earth was named after the nearby Mariana Islands. Its depth was first measured in 1875 using the British ship Challenger, after which the deepest point of the trough was named. Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh were the first to dive into the abyss on January 23, 1960. On the bathyscaphe "Trieste"they reached 10,911 m.

Only 52 years later, on March 26, 2012, their record was repeated by James Cameron, who single-handedly descended into the Challenger Abyss. A Canadian filmmaker dived in the Deepsea Challenger submersible, during which he filmed in 3D, which formed the basis of documentary film National Geographic.

Everest: the highest peak

The most high point The earth was submitted to man earlier than the lowest by 7 years. 60 years ago, on May 29, 1953, for the first time in history, a human foot stepped on Mount Chomolungma, 8,848 meters high. The honor to become pioneers fell to New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. They spent only 15 minutes on the "roof of the world", but these "15 minutes of fame" forever inscribed their names in history. Hillary and Norgay summited on the ninth British expedition to the summit of Everest. By the way, Chomolungma also owes to the British its more common name, which the peak received in honor of the Welsh geographer and surveyor George Everest.

New Zealander Edmund Hillary (left) and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay are the first people on Earth to conquer Everest. Photo 1953:

Almost two meters tall, New Zealander Edmund Hillary photographed a small Sherpa on a snow dome with an ice ax raised, decorated with flags of the UN, Great Britain, Nepal and India. Climbers used oxygen devices, May 29, 1953.

Moon: the farthest place from Earth where a person has been

The crew of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, during the flight of which, in July 1969, earthlings landed on the moon for the first time. From left to right: Neil Armstrong (left), Buzz Aldrin (right) and Michael Collins. During the landing of Neil and Buzz on the surface of the satellite, Michael piloted the command module in orbit around the moon:

On July 21, 1969, at 02:56:20 GMT, Neil Armstrong took a small step that was a giant leap for all of humanity, descending the stairs from the Apollo 11 lander to the lunar surface. The second guest of the Earth satellite was Edwin Aldrin, who joined the flight captain 15 minutes later.

In total, they plowed the lunar expanses for 2 hours 31 minutes and 40 seconds. During this time, the astronauts set up the American flag and the instruments necessary for scientific experiments, and also collected samples of lunar soil. After 21 hours and 36 minutes spent on the surface of the Moon and inside the landing module, the crew left the only astronomical object outside our planet, on which a human foot has set foot. In total, 12 astronauts visited the surface of the Earth's satellite as part of the Apollo lunar mission program.

Kola superdeep: the deepest well made by man

On May 24, 1970, the drilling of the deepest "hole" ever made by man began. As part of the Soviet scientific program in the Murmansk region (10 km from the city of Zapolyarny), a well was drilled, which reached a record high of 12,262 meters in 1990.

Kola superdeep well. Drilling rig of the first stage (depth 7,600 m), 1974:

The grandiose project lasted until 1992. Only the first 7 km of drilling took about 7 years. In 1983, the drill entered the earth's rocks for the first time at a distance of 12 km. Later due to accidents and technical difficulties work had to be suspended. It wasn't until 1990 that the final world drilling record was set. With the help of the Kola Superdeep, scientists wanted to study the most ancient rocks of our planet using the example of the granite Baltic Shield.

The Kola Superdeep is sometimes called the "well to hell." There is a legend at a depth of about 12 thousand meters, the microphones of scientists recorded the cries and groans of people. This is, of course, a myth, although during the drilling, phenomena did occur, the explanations for which scientists could not find.

Kola superdeep. Photo taken in 2007. At the moment, the object is abandoned, the building is actually destroyed, and the well itself is welded:

Flight of Felix Baumgartner: the highest jump in history

On October 14, 2012, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner made the highest jump in history,jumping from a 39-kilometer height(39.45 thousand meters). The 43-year-old athlete reached this mark in 2 hours and 16 minutes in a special capsule. During the fall, Felix exceeded the speed of sound, reaching a speed of 1357.6 kilometers per hour.

He jumped in a spacesuit and for the first time without the help of aircraft was in free fall for 4 minutes 19 seconds. This "star" time could be fatal for Baumgartner in case of depressurization, but, fortunately, the experiment ended successfully. Behind the extreme jump, which was broadcast on live, observed by about 8 million people.

Garrett McNamara: conquering the biggest wave

The largest wave, a 10-story building high, was submitted to Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamaru. He "saddled"30 meter wall of wateroff the Portuguese coast near the small town of Nazar on January 29, 2013. Garrett McNamara conquers the "100-foot storm":

A giant swell has formed over an underwater canyon that is famous for its reputation as a "generator" of the world's highest waves. This is not the first world record set by the 45-year-old athlete. In 2013, Garrett conquered his own world record set in November 2011 on the same Portuguese coast. Then the Hawaiian daredevil conquered a wave 24 meters high.

Garrett McNamara conquers the "100-foot storm":

Burj Khalifa: the conquest of the tallest skyscraper in the world

While all the main natural peaks are conquered, the French climber Alain Robert took up the peaks created by man. And entered the Guinness Book of Records as a conqueror of skyscrapers. Spider-Man has more than 70 ascents of the tallest structures in the world, including the Empire State Building (New York), the Eiffel Tower (Paris), the Petronas Towers (Kuala Lumpur), Taipei 101 (Taipei) and Main building of Moscow State University (Moscow).

Man's Greatest Achievements

When a child is born, his sense organs come into contact with outside world. Sound, heat and light waves beat against his weak body, his sensitive nerve fibers tremble, muscles obediently contract and relax: inhale, exhale, and by this act an amazing little machine of incomprehensible sensitivity and constructive complexity, unlike anything else on Earth, is included in the cycle of the Universe.

A small mechanism works and grows, performs more and more complex actions, begins to feel more and more subtle influences, and now a developed rational being declares itself - Man, a mysterious creature with an incomprehensible and irresistible desire to work miracles in his environment.

Inspired by this task, he explores, discovers and invents, designs and builds, and perfects the star of his birth with monuments of beauty, moral greatness and reverence.

He descends into the depths the globe in order to extract the treasures hidden there and release the vast energies that are imprisoned and use them.

He invades the dark depths of the ocean and the azure heights of the skies.

He peers into the most intimate places and secluded corners of the molecular structure and opens to his gaze the worlds that go to infinity. He conquers and puts at his service the violent, devastating fire of Prometheus, the colossal forces of the waterfall, wind and tide.

He tames Jupiter's formidable arrows and abolishes time and space. He makes the great Sun itself his obedient worker-servant.

His strength and power are such that the heavens melt, and the whole Earth trembles at the mere sound of his voice.

What has the future prepared for this amazing creature, born with a corruptible body, yet immortal, with its terrible and divine possibilities? What magic will he summon at the end? What should be his greatest feat crowning his achievement?

He realized long ago that all perceived matter comes from the primary substance, incomprehensibly subtle, filling all space, Akasha, or luminiferous ether, which is affected by the life-giving Prana, or creative force, calling to life in endless cycles all objects and phenomena.

Primary matter plunged into infinitely small whirlwinds of great speed becomes dense matter, with the weakening of the force, the movement stops, and matter disappears, returning to its former state of primary matter.

Can Man control this most grandiose of all processes in nature, inspiring awe? Can he harness her inexhaustible energies so that they perform all their functions at his command? Moreover, can he so perfect the means of control as to put them into action by his own effort of will?

If this could be achieved, he would have almost unlimited and supernatural powers. At his command, with just a slight effort on his part, the old worlds would vanish and the new ones planned by him would be born.

He could fix, condense and preserve the ethereal images of his imagination, the fleeting visions of his dreams. He could express all the creations of his consciousness on any scale in concrete and eternal forms.

He could change the volume of our planet, control the seasons on it, direct it along any trajectory that he invents, in the depths of the universe.

He could make the planets collide and create their suns and stars, their warmth and light. He could generate and develop life in all its infinite forms.

To create and destroy material substance, to make it assemble into forms according to his will, would be the highest manifestation the power of the consciousness of Man, his complete triumph over the physical world, the crown of his exploits, which would give him a place next to the Creator and fulfill his original destiny.
