Underachiever?

When can a person be considered an achiever?

Does a guy become an achiever if he:
  • Marries the most beautiful girl in the world?
  • Ties the knot with the love of his life?
  • Manages to become a Crorepathi (India's version of Billionaire)?
  • Becomes the first cricketer to score 100 hundreds?
  • Becomes the first Indian scientist to invent hundred inventions?
  • Creates the second green revolution?
  • Becomes a superhero?
  • Saves the world?

(Or)

  • Lives life to the fullest?
  • Has a dream in life, works towards it, and finally achieves it?
  • Fulfills every expectation of his loved ones?
  • Optimizes his talent and/skills to the point where impossible things suddenly become possible?
  • Achieves everything, but remains detached, and lives his life like a saint king?
  • Attains the atman (salvation) while still living life on his own terms?

A thousand questions arise in my mind. Even if I answer each of them, the answers give birth to another thousand questions? What's the point? What's achievement? What am I doing? What's even the point of posting this? As I try to seek to find answers to the never-ending questions, life continues and I remain an underachiever!!!
