People are often categorized into two bipolar categories by not just other people but even themselves. These categories can be termed in various different ways; successful and unsuccessful, extraordinary and ordinary, and achievers and nonachievers. While these categories can be sweeping and generic, they allude mainly to a person’s professional achievements. From the research, I’ve done and the considerable experience I have, the distinction between achievers and non-achievers isn’t what it seems. A person could be making a six-figure salary yet still be a nonachiever, whereas a person that isn’t successful by contemporary standards could be an achiever. The distinction between achievers and nonachievers is more about a mindset, an approach, and an analytical lens. Achievers have an outlook that focuses on the long-term, excellence, and growth. Nonachievers could be exceptionally effective at getting things done or short-term targets but lack an outlook of excellence. People that make an impact on others and on the world are achievers. Motivated by growth and the yearning for excellence, these people can be a part of an organization and truly revolutionize policy, practice, and human life
