I live life exactly how I want, in a nice cottage with land to grow things and relax, and indulge in all four of my hobbies, I'm happy.

if you can call that an achievement.

It's the only one worth a damn imo.
 
Degree, good job, good health/fitness, great mates, wonderful girlfriend, plenty of hobbies/sports, travels, completely independent.

At the age of 28, I'm very happy with what I've done/experianced so far.

Quietly confident and happy. I like the person I've become, mostly.

Would like to do some more studying, and evenutally start a family of my own. No rush tho, I'm sure I'll get bored if I don't leave a few things to do till later in life.
 
What have I achieved in life; good question!

Hmmm - I've been to university and had the time of life, made an unbelievable amount of friends and had some awesome times in the process, got a 2:1 while I was there.

I raced RC cars before I did my A-Levels, got to 12th in the UK for my age baracket (Under 16), numerous other good results and stuff too, just got back into it about 6 Months ago - tis going great!

I've lived on my own from 16-17, first in Camden, then moved to Birmingham, saving for a house at the moment.

I'm probably one of the youngest people in the UK with my accreditaions in IT

I've seen lots of the world and travelled a lot

All in the last five years really - ok for a 22 year old, I wonder what I'll have done by this time next year?

EDIT; Theres also a strong possibility I'm a dad too (still waiting to find out :S), I also nearly got married, and then I had a thing with my therapist.

Probably my greatist achievement in life is standing on the beach, looking at my girlfriend and realising I love her;

I have stayed true to myself.
One of the best compliments i have ever had is off a mate who has known me for over 25 years. he said " Malc, out of all the people i know or have known you are the only person i know who is the same as when i met them, You haven't changed one bit"

Achievements in the real world though = Nowt.
 
Hmm not much notable as of yet...

As a kid I was highly successful at athletics, did a lot of successful sprinting and was ISA triple-jump champion for a year.

Got through a nightmare time at university where all I did was take spend obscene amount of money, take drugs and party, and after a slow 3 years since am now finally on my way up having just passed two gruelling interviews to be accepted in the IT department at a huge world-wide company. However, I don't know if I will pursue IT as a life-long career, I like it but it doesn't set my worl alight

I think as a person i'm also doing ok... I have a lot of faults just as any man but I think I am truly a unique individual who has made some great friends (wo i've made a lasting impresison on, for better or worse lol) and who has yet to do some notable things in life. All I want to do is get as much out of life as I possibly can (travel and get all the 'bad things' out of my system while i'm young) and make something of myself career-wise, before settling down to start a family (hopefully one boy one girl) in a house I own in with a big, exploreable garden in the sussex/kentish countryside but not too far away from a city with some lovely neighbours and scenery. Ahh i'm looking forward to it already... :)

And you took that as a compliment? i joke i joke, i kid i kid
 
hmmm not a lot really.

been in love and fell out of it lol. never done a munter(proud :D).
local/kinda national champ in my class ie 600cc motorbikes. got sponsors paying for me now and a bike which im really proud of. :) finally getting recognition and faith in my abilities which is just a great feeling.

work wise i have achieved nothing of any worth. i have a job which is fairly easy, but i have no motivation or ambition really. im too relaxed and it annoys me.

i think my biggest achievement in life(in an emotional sense) is my attitude. having seen how many others have turned out, i still get called a gentleman (at 25 yrs old!! lol) which im quite proud of. sad maybe but i like to think i have a good attitude and im quite proud of it as an achievement as i could easily have gone another way and my dad would be proud of me. :)

not really answered the question in the truest form there so maybe a bit of a curve ball.
 
I've not achieved much. I did quite well academically with absolutely zero effort until I started university. No real achievements that make a difference to anyone or that I am particularly proud of though.
 
Managing to get away with giving a girl one for the road even though she knew what I was doing.
 
Well surviving untill now seems a mirical! so i happy for that.

Best achievment to date is winning a gold medal for Scotland U18 hockey in the European B devision in 2002.
 
Personally saved the lives of over twenty people who would have definitely died if it had not been for my intervention. There is a great feeling that courses through your bones when you know that you have made the difference betwen life and death for someone.

Oh, I also risk my life to save others, something I am happy to do.
