Greatest Accomplishment

    I believe that the greatest accomplishment you could ever achieve in your life is to leave a positive mark on the world. However, the number of people you leave a mark on doesn't determine one's successfulness in life. Whether it be one person, or a hundred people, it is still considered a great accomplishment because your life is now lived through or recognized by someone else's. Realizing that you have everything you need in your life in order to be happy is another great accomplishment. It is when you blow out the candles on your birthday cake and when you make a wish, you don't make one because you realize that you don't have anything to wish for since you already have it all. Although many people think that happiness is the greatest accomplishment in life, I believe that happiness cannot be achieved, but is earned from making other people happy or leaving a positive mark on the world. In order to achieve this accomplishment, one does not have to go to great lengths. One could leave a positive mark on the world by simply smiling at someone and making their day, or one could go to great lengths by creating a charity to help raise money for a disease. One does not have to cross any moral or legal boundaries in order to achieve this accomplishment, since the steps one has to take to make a positive impact on a person is not morally wrong or illegal to do.
