How do you define achievement?

 



Achievement's meaning for me is to make a positive impact and better change in lives of unfortunate people who are unpriviledged by fate. If we continue to do our bit towards those unfortunate ones then only the gap between poor and rich in a country like India will got narrowed and finally get eliminated too. 


In all developed western countries, equal pay for  all kinds of work be it skillful,semi-skillful or unskilled work is the thing that has lowered down poverty rate in those countries and increased quality of lives of it's citizens.


Also they don't need to steal, rob or do illegal stuff to earn money because they get well paid for whatever they do legally.


Right to equality is a constitutional right to Indians but are we really equal?


Mostly in our country, achievements are measured by ranks,marks,grades and degrees. 


And when a youth wants to pursue something that's not related to elite class of jobs like working in a cafe,delivering food or riding an app cab then they're criticized and told to sit at home rather than doing such so called "odd jobs". 

Is financial independence better for them or their ego dominated by society as a "odd" job worker ? 


Do the degrees and white collar jobs only define meaning of achievement or a satisfied stress free life defines it ?
