Reflecting on 2017 achievements
Success is an abstract concept that comes with some subjective associations. Some people associate success with wealth and fame, and others with their career growth. Either way, a person’s success can be determined on the surface by looking over their journey and what they have earned as well as learned so far. Many-a-time we are adamantly advised to look forward and work for the future, but it is always a wise thought to look back once in a while to observe how much you have progressed.
As we near the end of 2017, reflecting back is a natural thing to do. My City's Sonam Lama asked a few people what they have achieved or learned so far this year.
At the end of the year, I am humbled by the achievements and success that 2017 brought to me. I find myself ready to bid adieu to the past year with gratitude, and start again for further endeavors. Thinking of 2017, I recall numerous moments filled with joy and triumph. I visited numerous places collecting memories and experiences. I also completed my college with good grades. My most remarkable achievement in 2017 is scoring 7.5 in my IELTS test. I am looking forward to many more opportunities and experiences in 2018.
When I reflect back on 2017, I come across many changes that have shaped my life in various ways. I started my online business ‘Make Me Pretty’ this year. I am currently working as a freelance make-up artist. Since my works have been appreciated by the clients, I am now thinking of opening a beauty parlor in some months. I have been working as a freelance make-up artist four years now, but 2017 has been the most memorable year for me.
I think my most especial achievement this year is that I got promoted to a new monastery. Moving to a new place has given me the opportunity to learn the art of meditation from experienced teachers and make new friends. I am also starting my journey to national and international monasteries in a week, so this would be one of the biggest achievements that I have gained so far this year.
The year 2017 comes to me as a relief and brings new aspirations in my long academic life. After having spent more than half a decade in medical school, I successfully completed my MBBS. This achievement significantly aids my efforts toward being a doctor. The year 2017 thus has marked itself as an important year in my life. With the end of the year and having completed my course, I feel a sense of accomplishment and gratefulness. I’m looking up to the New Year with motivated spirit and expect a year with new challenges as well as achievements.
This year my journey as a parent has been progressive. Both of my sons, who are studying in Grade VIII and BSc 1st year, have scored better grades in their studies. I count this to be my biggest achievement this year. Besides that, I have been trying out my best to expand my business. I previously sold books, newspapers, journals and magazines, but now I have started selling winter clothes and it has ensured my financial progress. This year has been fruitful as I take a closer look at my journey.
I weigh my achievement through my class and study performance. I have not yet started working and am currently studying (MHM) Master’s in Hotel Management. When I was in my second year in 2016, my grades were not as satisfying as this year. Similarly, I have tried to experience new things and take risks to overcome some of the fears that I’ve had. At the end of this year, I realize that I have grown to become a social and outspoken person.
