We've all accomplished something in our lives. Even it it may seem mundane to an outsider. Accomplishments are all around, actually. They range from buildings to books to the movies we watch and the people we see. So, is there anything that you have accomplished and that you are really proud of?

One of the accomplishments I am really proud of is passing the Board Examination for Certified Public Accountants. With this, I now have a job that pays me decently. Not a lucrative job as many CPAs have, but enough to help my family. But I think my greatest accomplishment is helping my family. I am now the breadwinner of our family.

Hi there My dear friend. I have been with my friend at "300" the movie, and although it wasn't a comedy, i made an accidental remark about something that made the crowd laugh. I have been to a Greek festival, and to Greece, that being my first trip outside the country for my summer vacation, and furthermore i was there with my girlfriend. I won a lottery from the Dove Company and a local supermarket, although it wasn't something to valuable. I got really good grades in math and geography at my final exams of high school. I made love. I made special presents and surprises.

I'm a mom! That's my biggest life accomplishment. By comparison, all the other stuff I've done means nothing. And I've done some amazing things in my life. Being a parent is not a big deal to most young people who envision great things for themselves. And I felt the same way when I was in my teens and early 20's. But now that I'm a mother, I can see what my entire life has been leading up to. I have an entire human being in my house and I was partially responsible for her creation. When she was a baby, I would stand over her crib and cry and think, "Wow! I can't believe that she's really here!" It's hard to explain. A woman bonds so deeply with her child. I will never have a better friend than my daughter. That's what she tells me!

hi drowninghavoc, well I dont know where to start as I go through half of my 50th year of birth I can say I have achieved some of my dreams I had no belief I would. but through determination and faith in myself I have achieved so much. My greatest achievement is to be alive, my best friend asked me the week of my 50th birthday what are you thankful for? Being alive she understood it completely. I have two fantastic children and a beautiful grandson who is about to turn one. My life is becoming less 'busy' and I have written to my hearts content recently. I have a great deal to be blessed and my accomplishments are I have completed my first book ( not published yet) completed 2 poetry books self published but not sold as yet. All this I had promised to be ready by this year. Thank you so much for putting this discussion out there.

I think there were some I had accomplished back then, for example like finishing my college study, finishing some difficult projects in my work. About the one I am really proud of ... honestly, I don't know. I don't think I have the feeling yet, after all, without the help and support from those people back then, I don't think I would have been here as I am today. So I would give the credit to those people who had supported me. They are the ones deserve it. :)
