My Wall of Achievements
Filed Under College And University | Leave a Comment
One of my greatest beliefs in life is that the past is important to our future. Now, I don’t mean that one should live in the past (since it isn’t healthy), but rather those experiences from the past carry forward and help us shape our future.
So, I have a room in my house that is my study, and I have set aside one wall as a showcase of things that I have accomplished in my lifetime. There you can find ribbons from track meets that I won as a kid (I was really good at long jump), some medals from the music festivals that I have won (I used to play the piano), and even a diploma frame or two from my college degree in computer science and the certificate I have in accounting.
To some, this wall seems like I am bragging, but for me, it is a motivator as I can see what I have accomplished in my short time here on the planet. I guess the biggest question that is brought up when people do look at the wall is why there is a bunch of empty space on it.
My answer is simple – the empty space reminds me that there are many more accomplishments to come and the space on the wall is needed to accommodate them, which gives me the motivation each day to be something more than I was yesterday.
