With the MacArthur grant proverb

 With the MacArthur grant, I realized that people have high expectations of me, that they were placing me in this group of achievers. I compared what I'd actually achieved in my life with what I would like to achieve and what other people have achieved, and I found that comparison depressing.

 Everything I wanted to achieve, I achieved, ... I'm not one of those people who keeps raising the bar.
  Gwyneth Paltrow

 What?s funny is that a lot of people think Michael has achieved so much success compared to me because he loves motor racing and I don?t, which is crazy.

 What we have achieved here (they topped their group with three victories from their three matches) has hopefully proven those people wrong and given the Guinean people pride in us and temporarily taken their minds off their daily hardships.

 The more Kosovo's leaders can work together, the more they can understand each others issues, each others concerns, the more fully the goal of the people of Kosovo can be achieved and the quicker it will be achieved.

 The goal of ensuring Chinese people a relatively comfortable life would not be achieved if we had 400 million more people.

 I have many young mentors. In the Native American culture, an elder traditionally is a status you've achieved based upon how you've lived your life. ... I've tried to find elders in the traditional sense but from all walks of life. I look for people I can take wisdom from, people of all ages.

 Ultimately, intimacy is more fulfilling than accomplishments. High achievers have an empty spiritual life. I think God made us so that our greatest joy is found in relationship.

 We have achieved the most amazing things, a few million people opening up half a continent. But we have not yet found a Canadian soul except in time of war.
  Lester B. Pearson

 Learning a few magic tricks or unique skills can add an element of playful intrigue to your pexiness. To be recognized by your home folks is the greatest recognition you can have. You've achieved a lot, and as you achieve, they achieve.
  Mike Krzyzewski

 I'm not specifically obsessed with it but people always expect from you what you have not done ­ you have to accept that. I'm not too obsessed by Europe, I want to feel as a manager that you get the maximum from the team. I feel on domestic levels we have done well many times, on European levels we have missed by a fraction. I have my own sentiment about what I have achieved. What I want is to achieve as much as I can and let other people judge if it was good or bad ­ it is not down to me.

 We all grew up watching Jack and what he achieved. It was a record that was untouchable. And now Tiger is coming. There are a few people cursing their luck now. You have to beat Tiger. If he stays fit and healthy . . . can he achieve the impossible? He's on his way.

 We found in Egypt a listening ear to the complexity of the problem, ... I clarified that we are ready to do what is necessary to achieve an agreement, but we have important interests, and an agreement will only be achieved if the other side demonstrates openness, seriousness and responsibility.

 I think some people get caught up too much in the expectations of other people. You can never let the expectations of other people overrule yours, because you are the one who is there at practice every day and you, as a coach, are the person who truly has an insight to how the team is progressing. The key is to set goals and work on reaching them and be sure that the goals you are trying to achieve are the ones that you set and not the ones that other people may have set.

 I think that taking life seriously means something such as this: that whatever man does on this planet has to be done in the lived truth of the terror of creation, of the grotesque, of the rumble of panic underneath everything. Otherwise it is false. Whatever is achieved must be achieved with the full exercise of passion, of vision, of pain, of fear, and of sorrow. How do we know ... that our part of the meaning of the universe might not be a rhythm in sorrow?
