Life… one word among the many others for which people do not have a definite answer. If you look up a dictionary for the meaning of life you will find a whole lot of entries which mean different things... I think this is quite strong a fact to prove that no one has agreed on one definition of life. Life is like this one super dish which is made using lots of ingredients (I’m just too obsessed with food so that explains why I chose to explain life with a dish :) ). One small ingredient of life is achievement. All through life you have to perform to achieve something you’ve always wanted and people who make it through the struggle are called Achievers.
“Achiever” according to me is one powerful motivator on its own. For example: we are always inspired by achievers and want to be like them or if we tell a person he is not an achiever and you will find a new zeal in him to outperform his competitors.
But is the motivation alone enough for anyone to become an achiever? I don’t think so. According to me there are two main things a person has to have if he wants to be an achiever. They are A Goal and most importantly Determination. And why do I think so… I don’t think achievement comes by you way when you walk on any random path of life… you need to know where you are heading. Having a goal is relatively easy compared to being determined to achieve it. You can consider determination as the fuel in your car when you are on a highway without a refill for miles to come. Almost every person you meet has a goal, but what separates achievers from the common beings is determination. Without a determination that lasts till you reach your goal is of no use coz you are then stranded in the middle of the highway without any fuel and to make things worse you are not sure of what to do (go back to where you came from or stay where you are hoping that someone will help you reach your destination someday).
There is no conclusion to this post... i've yet to figure that out.

Very true n well written.. u need a lot of determination.
But .. some people seem to be successful sooner than another.. they just seem to get lucky. I guess luck / fate /destiny also plays quite a big role in addition to a defined goal and determination.
Attitude could also be added to it. If u r stranded in the middle of the road ( may not be coz of ur fuel .. aka determination .. but some other obstacle) u dont necessarily have to stop there. Ur attitude comes in here. It is your attitude that makes you want to go ahead or go back .. :-)
Determinatio, perspiration and all that jazz, man.
Bottom line, you see something you want, put blinders on and go after it, heart, mind, body and soul.
If you can't, you just need a battery recharge. :-)
