: Just had to put in my two cents here! Achievement is one of the six core human passions or values - it's all about "proving yourself." But proving oneself can and will have different meaning for different people. At one time, to me, achievement or success meant increasingly more responsibility at work, increasingly more money, increasingly bigger titles, etc. Today, achievement is one of my core values, but it looks a whole lot different than it did in the past. Today achievement means being fully who I am; proving myself means living a life I love, doing work I love with people I love. And while $$ is an important tool that helps me to be fully who I am, it's no longer a measure of my success.
